		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The  recent arrest of Roy Bennet comes as no surprise given the fact that Zimbabwe&#8217;s military junta is desperately working to derail the unity government in pursuit of selfish agendas. Even more intriguing and worrisome is President Robert Mugabe&#8217;s silence. The people of Zimbabwe expect him to take full responsibility for this prevailing chaotic situation [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nationalvision.wordpress.com&blog=3925130&post=467&subd=nationalvision&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Talk of civil disobedience, we saw it coming! For the first time in history,
Zimbabwe has started to experience up-close glimpses of a mutiny. The recent
scenes of rioting and looting soldiers running skirmishes with armed police
are a precursor of what is to come given the mounting crises. In spite of
having a political career replete with innumerable [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nationalvision.wordpress.com&blog=3925130&post=432&subd=nationalvision&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
