Former top military men such as Generals Colin Powell, Jim Mattis, John Allen and John Kelly criticised President Donald Trump’s actions against those protesting in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and in demand for justice for the slain George Floyd.
What is admirable is, despite police brutality against protestors, chiefs of police and military men are standing up against abuse of the Constitution by a narcissistic president whose main worry is winning the November elections and not the predicament of black citizens affected by the double bind of racism and COVID-19.
Zimbabwe lacks military men and women, both serving and former, who can speak truth to power and confront Zanu PF for the socio-moral-political decay currently happening.
Former military men and women are silent and so is the President of the country.
Zimbabwe is probably the only country on the sub-continent where a winning President continues to be in a campaign mode from day one in office until the next elections.
