A spokesperson for Zimbabwe's fragmented main opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) says it is focused on preparing the country for the future. Gift Ostallos Siziba says the opposition believes the country's future is in the hands of ordinary Zimbabweans. Triple C founder and President Nelson Chamisa resigned abruptly earlier this year after accusing the ruling ZANU PF of refusing to introduce political, constitutional, and electoral reforms. Over 80 CCC supporters are currently in jail for planning to protest at the August SADC summit in Harare. Spokesperson Siziba tells VOA's James Butty, he is in the United States to attend the just-concluded UN Summit of the Future as well engage with Zimbabweans in the US

In Zimbabwe, another opposition leader has announced he's leaving active politics. The New Zimbabwe website reports that Tendai Biti, one of the three vice presidents of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) says he needs a sabbatical. In January this year, Triple C founder and President Nelson Chamisa abruptly resigned from the party, saying it had been hijacked by the ruling ZANU PF. Tendai Ruben Mbofana, a Zimbabwe social justice advocate and writer, tells VOA's James Butty, Biti's departure is one more sign that the Zimbabwe opposition is effectively dead.
This week, Zimbabwe's main opposition leader Nelson Chamisa announced he was making “frantic efforts” for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to arrange a meeting between him and President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Chamisa said the purpose would be for the two leaders to find common ground to help fix Zimbabwe's long-suffering economy. Chamisa resigned abruptly in January as leader of Zimbabwe's main opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) which he founded. Tendai Ruben Mbofana, a Zimbabwe social justice advocate and writer, tells VOA's James Butty, Chamisa's desire is bizarre because he does not even belong to a political party.
In August Zimbabwe headed to the polls again and on the 26th of August the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission announced that Emmerson Mnangagwa had been re-elected after gaining a majority of votes. The opposition 'Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC)' refused this victory, stating instead that they, with leader Nelson Chamisa, had won. The opposition also accused ZANU-PF of rigging and voter suppression. What has happened in the country since Mugabe was forced to resign? Were the elections free and fair? How has the opposition been treated during and after the elections? What is happening with the economic situation in the country that was a major concern for many before the elections? Does Nelson Chamisa have what it takes to unite the opposition or has he outplayed his role as leader? What is life like for ordinary Zimbabweans today?
The disintegration of Zimbabwe's main opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (or Triple C) continues. This, after the party's president, Nelson Chamisa, resigned earlier this month accusing the ruling ZANU PF of infiltration. Over the weekend, one faction of Triple C named Welshman Ncube as new leader . Tendai Ruben Mbofana, a Zimbabwe social justice advocate and writer, tells VOA's James Butty, Zimbabwe opposition politics centers around personalities, not policy, and the new Triple C is likely to suffer the same fate as its predecessor, the MDC Alliance.

It is not yet clear whether any progress has been achieved by the SADC Panel of Elders sent to Zimbabwe this week to ease tensions in the disputed polls won by President Emmerson Mnangagwa against his rival Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa. The Panel's mission, ended YESTERDAY but there are still no reports on who they met and what was discussed. This comes as Chamisa also called for nationwide protests and a re-run of elections. Mnangagwa on the other hand claimed the vote was valid and has warned of a crackdown on anyone inciting violence.

The runner-up in Zimbabwe's presidential election, Nelson Chamisa, has accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa of carrying out an electoral coup. Former Independent National Electoral Commission of Nigeria chairperson Attahiru Muhammadu Jega is leading the Carter Center's observer mission to Zimbabwe. He talks about his role as electoral observer. It has been more than a month since the military in Niger overthrew former President Bazoum.

*) Aleppo airport out of service after Israeli strikes on Assad regime An Israeli air strike hits the international airport in the city of Aleppo in northern Syria, damaging a runway and putting it out of service. Israel has targeted airports and seaports in the government-held parts of Syria in an apparent attempt to prevent arms shipments from Iran to armed groups backed by Tehran, including Lebanon's Hezbollah. Thousands of Iran-backed fighters from around the region joined Syria's 12-year conflict helping tip the balance in favour of regime leader Bashar al Assad's forces. *) France announces ban on Muslim overgarment 'abaya' in schools France plans to ban the abaya, a long loose-fitting overgarment worn by some Muslim women, on school grounds, the country's education minister said. Gabriel Attal has told broadcaster TF1 that the government intends to convey "clear rules" on the matter to school officials across the country. The decision is the latest in several limitations on Islamic clothing in France, where critics say the government has targeted Muslims with statements and policies in recent years. *) Zimbabwe's opposition claims victory, disputing president's re-election Zimbabwe's opposition leader Nelson Chamisa contested the official re-election of President Emmerson Mnangagwa and claimed victory in an election which international observers said fell short of democratic standards. Mnangagwa, 80, won a second term with 52.6 percent of the ballots against 44 percent for his main challenger, Chamisa, 45, according to official results. Zimbabweans voted Wednesday and Thursday for a president and new parliament, in polling marred by delays that sparked opposition accusations of rigging and voter suppression. *) Murder charges against Pakistan's ex-Premier Khan dismissed Murder charges against former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan were dismissed,, his lawyer said.

They're now turning their attention to the wealthy, after long targeting some of the world's most profitable companies – oil and gas conglomerates, banks and insurance firms that continue to invest in fossil fuels.
Emmerson Mnangagwa has been declared President-elect in Zimbabwe. He has trounced his main rival Nelson Chamisa of the Citizens Coalition for Change. The opposition alleges that election was rigged.

Emmerson Mnangagwa has been declared president-elect in Zimbabwe. He has trounced his main rival, Nelson Chamisa of the Citizens Coalition for Change. The opposition alleges that the election was rigged. ZANU-PF has been in power for more than four decades. Bongiwe Zwane, on update at noon, spoke to the Leader of the Citizens Coalition for Change, Nelson Chamisa.
Zimbabwe's Elections Commission confirmed late last night that Emmerson Mnangagwa had won a second term as president. Mnangagwa received more than 52% of the vote, while Nelson Chamisa, the head of the opposition Citizens' Coalition for Change (CCC) party, received only 44%. The opposition has accused the elections of rigging and voter suppression due to delays. Election observers have also said this week's voting violated democratic ideals. Although voting was peaceful, SADC said some aspects of the elections fell short of Zimbabwe's constitutional requirement and SADC principles and guidelines for democratic elections of 2021. To unpack the results of the Zimbabwean elections we spoke to Terry Tselane, Executive Chairperson of the Institute of Election Management Services in Africa and Dr Tinashe Sithole, Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Johannesburg's Dept. of Politics and International Relations

Voting in Zimbabwe's general election was marred by delays with opposition parties already crying foul about vote rigging. Yesterday Zimbabweans went to the polls to elect a president, legislators and local authorities in a contest in which incumbent president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, is seeking a second term. Most urban polling stations in Harare and Bulawayo, where opposition leader of the Citizens Coalition for Change, Nelson Chamisa claims to have a stronghold, opened a few hours late. For more on this Elvis Presslin spoke to SABC reporter, Khayalihle Khumalo, who is in Harare, Zimbabwe

As Zimbabweans head to the polls this Wednesday, we take a look at the dire economic straits the country finds itself in. Inflation has gone from the single digits in 2017 to 77 percent this month, the currency has crashed against the US dollar, and high unemployment has led many to emigrate. While incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa has played up improved infrastructure on the campaign trail, his opponent Nelson Chamisa detailed a plan that he says will build Zimbabwe into a $100 billion economy.

Zimbabweans will cast their votes today in the country's general election, which will determine the future of Zimbabwe amid an economic crisis. A total of 11 candidates are vying for the presidency, but the main contest is between the incumbent President Emerson Mnangagwa of Zanu-PF, and Nelson Chamisa of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC). To look into the Zimbabwe General Elections we are joined on the line by Professor of African Politics at the University of South Africa, Professor Kealeboga Maphunye
Zimbabweans are gearing up to vote for a President in the country's general elections today. A total of 11 candidates are vying for the presidency, but the main contest is between the incumbent President Emerson Mnangagwa of Zanu-PF, and Nelson Chamisa of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC). Zanu-PF, which has governed Zimbabwe since its independence in 1980, is confident it will retain power. For more on the country's general elections, Elvis Presslin spoke to Blessed Chisiiwa, a young Zimbabwean based in Harare
The Zimbabwean government spokesman, Nick Mangwana, tells us he hopes President Emmerson Mnangagwa will win Wednesday's elections so that he can fulfil his electoral programme. The elections pit the incumbent and Zanu-PF party leader against the opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa. Also on the programme: the former prime minister of Thailand, Thaksin Shinawatra, has returned from self-imposed exile, been arrested and sent to prison; and we hear the latest on the attempts to rescue people stuck in a cable car in Pakistan.

Zimbabweans will go to the polls tomorrow to elect a new president and government. The country's ruling ZANU-PF party which has been in power for the last 43 years says it is ready for electoral victory. A dozen candidates are vying to be the country's next president but the main contest seems to be between incumbent, Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is seeking a second term and and Nelson Chamisa, of the new Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC). For more on this we Elvis Presslin spoke to our SABC reporter, Khayalihle Khumalo, who is in Zimbabwe
“What a lot of Zimbabweans are really concerned about at the moment is the level of joblessness. This has been a historical problem and so has been the high cost of living” - Shingai Nyoka On Wednesday, millions of Zimbabweans are expected to vote in this year's national election. A total of eleven presidential candidates appear on the ballot paper. But Emmerson Mnangagwa's Zanu PF and the Citizens Coalition for Change of Nelson Chamisa are seen as the frontrunners. Zimbabweans will go to the polls at a time when hyperinflation pushes up the prices of basic necessities. So, what changes can the elections bring, especially considering Zanu PF's 43 year rule?
This week on the Sunday Times politics Weekly we shine the spotlight on the prospects of the Zimbabwe elections. Our panellists on the podcast are prominent Zimbabwean scholar professor Ibbo Mandaza and Ngqabutho Nicholas Mabhena representing Zimbabwe Community in South Africa organisation. The two assess what the elections mean and the role of the Southern Africa region in turning the country around. Next month, on August 23, Zimbabweans head to the polls to choose from a dozen candidates vying to be the county's next president. The main contest is between Zanu-PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa, who seeks a second term and Nelson Chamisa, of the new Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC). The guests are pessimistic about what the elections hold. As the Brics summit approaches next month in South Africa, Mabhena says Zimbabwe must benefit from Brics programmes. Mandaza says “there can be no solution to the Zimbabwean crisis without South Africa” but SA leaders should be informed about the Zimbabwe. The host is Sunday Times deputy editor Mike Siluma and the producer is Bulelani Nonyukela.

A presidential election held during a period of extreme political divisiveness. A constitutional democracy under threat by the incumbent president himself. The possibility of a stolen election. These conditions might bring to mind the U.S. in 2020. But Camilla Nielsson's masterful new observational documentary “President” focuses its unblinking eye on Zimbabwe during the country's pivotal and turbulent 2018 presidential campaign. Picking up where her widely acclaimed film “Democrats” left off, Nielsson embeds with presidential challenger Nelson Chamisa, a young, charismatic leader dedicated to challenging the corrupt ruling order. The result is a campaign film as riveting and revealing as any you have ever seen. Speaking to Mike and Ken from her home in Copenhagen during a gloomy fall evening, Camilla shed light on the incredible political journey of Nelson Chamisa and on her own challenging creative process. How did she gain such amazing access to Chamisa and his campaign? How did a small documentary crew manage to outshine the international news media in its coverage? When Chamisa was forced into hiding, how did Camilla pivot and keep shooting? With democracies everywhere under fire, there are no easy answers. But thanks to “President”, we can see what courageous leadership looks like. Released by Greenwich Entertainment, “President” opens in theaters on December 17th. President is now playing in New York and Los Angeles. Follow us on twitter @topdocspod Hidden Gem: The Store
Hundreds of thousands of supporters of the fragile transition to a civilian-led government in Sudan have marched in towns and cities across the country. Zimbabwean opposition leader Nelson Chamisa claims there've been two attempts on his life. The leader of the separatist movement, IPOB in Nigeria, gets his day in court. A new report details the scale of mass surveillance in six African countries. Uganda's ministry of education tells us why primary schools have been shut for almost twenty months despite relatively low cases of Covid-19 in the country.
While some African governments have sought to crush corruption, almost all have failed in preventing it from enveloping the continent. An accountability deficit has bred poor governance. But how do you tackle this? This week the MDC's Tendai Biti and Nelson Chamisa explain what has gone wrong in Zimbabwe, while Prof Kingsley Moghalu attempts to rationalise why African leaders seem to be full of great ideas yet lack the skill of implementation.

What is a national crisis and how can it be turned into an opportunity? This episode looks at how Africa's leaders have to adopt a similar sense of urgency as Asia does, if they are to ensure that their countries not only survive but prosper in the face of the huge demographic changes they face. Including interviews with former Prime Minister of Ethiopia and co-author Hailemariam Desalegn, and Zimbabwe's opposition leaders Nelson Chamisa and Tendai Biti, who know more than most about crisis, we explore how what might appear a disaster can be an opportunity for Africa's development.

On the show we discuss the recent assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani by President Trump and the American government. We also discuss the Wiki Leaks documents on Nelson Chamisa, and his acts of treason against his own country in favor of the US.
Former Finance minister and Harare East legislator Tendai Biti says Zimbabwe needs to reintroduce the multi-currency regime, seek debt cancellation and liberalize the fuel industry, among other interventions, to get the economy ticking again. In an interview, Biti also said a political solution is a key to addressing Zimbabwe's economic crisis and resolving the crisis of legitimacy emanating from last year's general elections. President Emmerson Mnangagwa beat MDC Alliance president Nelson Chamisa by a wafer-thin margin although the MDC insists the elections were rigged. Biti also said the government should repeal Statutory Instrument 142/19 with immediate effect, and the government should go back to the regime of multiple currencies even with the local currency working as a medium of exchange and the exchange rate will find equilibrium. Biti said the government should ring-fence pensions and savings in US dollar terms to avoid devaluation of pensions and savings. The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority, he said, should be allowed to levy its charges in US dollars. This will enable the parastatal to import the required 400 megawatts of electricity. Biti believes the government should get rid of command agriculture and introduce incentives to the farming sector. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday, Europe stood with the US in saying it was too soon to make a decision on whether to temporarily ground Boeing's newest version of the 737, the MAX 8, after it was involved in its second fatal crash in less than six months. But today, following the lead of China and carriers in South Korea and Latin America, several European nations announced they would take the same step. The jets have now been grounded in at least 15 countries. US Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao insists they are putting safety first and monitoring the situation. But is the FAA putting profit over safety?Three years after Britain voted to leave the European Union, lawmakers have failed to agree on how to do it. Parliament rejected Prime Minister Theresa May's withdrawal plan on Tuesday by a vote of 391 to 242. Last-minute negotiations with the EU were not enough to secure the support of hardliners in the prime minister's own Conservative Party. Parliament is expected to vote tomorrow on whether to leave the EU on schedule, on March 29, without a deal.The United States is withdrawing all remaining diplomatic personnel from its embassy in Venezuela's capital, Caracas, because of worsening conditions in the country, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said late Monday. The move is a setback for the Trump administration, which had vowed to keep diplomats in the country to legitimize the opposition challenger to President Nicolás Maduro, who cut diplomatic ties with the United States in January. The US/EU sanctions are yielding their desired results in Zimbabwe, similar to 1970s Chile. The major difference between the situations is that the Maduro regime has some significant international support (Russia, China, Iran, Turkey). If the US calls their bluff and sends troops to Venezuela, who knows if Russian President Vladimir Putin or someone else will respond? Meanwhile, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his ZANU-PF party appear to be isolated internationally, except for South Africa's African National Congress. Just a few thoughts from afar. The only difference between Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido and Zimbabwean opposition leader Nelson Chamisa, who have both been regime change mouthpieces and agents since political birth, is that Guiado is president of Venezuela's National Assembly, which in both the short and long term makes him far more dangerous.In its latest offensive, the Saudi coalition has targeted civilians in the district of Kushar in Yemen.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Mark Sleboda, an international affairs and security analyst, and Mazda Majidi, an Iranian specialist, author, journalist, and educator.Iran has deployed 50 small naval vessels to the Strait of Hormuz, the very narrow and very strategic waterway where the Persian Gulf flows into the Arabian Sea. Twenty percent of the world’s oil flows through the Strait, so any disruption would be highly problematic for the world economy. What happens if Iran closes the Strait? How would Israel respond? What about the US or Saudi Arabia? And what would happen in Syria? The hosts look at the hypotheticals possible in a new conflict in the Middle East. On today’s regular Friday segment covering the upcoming midterm elections, the hosts talk about the Democrats’ strategy going into the midterms as a nationwide party.

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said yesterday that Russia is still trying to interfere in US elections. Donald Trump, however, said three times yesterday that the Russia investigation is a “witch hunt.” Tellingly, though, Coats also said that he had no idea why the President didn’t condemn this alleged Russian meddling during his meeting in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
