🔴The convoy of three cars which have been menacingly following retired Air Force of Zimbabwe Air Vice-Marshal Henry Muchena and his wife for close to a week now, includes a silver Honda vessel AGC 6549; white Mercedes Benz AES 6579 and white Toyota Hilux AFC 9059. It suspected that these are state security agents brazenly running an overt and ominous surveillance operation to harass and intimidate Muchena - while also sending a warning to other former army commanders - for his bold resistance and attacks on the recent far-reaching constitutional amendments extending President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s tenure by two more years from 2028 to 2030.

One of Zimbabwe’s retired military generals opposed to President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term extension, Air Marshal Muchena, has released these visuals to the media showing State security officers pursuing him and his wife wherever they go for days. Air Marshal Muchena previously met with President Mnangagwa and expressed his opposition to the term-extension legislation, then known as CAB3. President Mnangagwa abruptly ended the meeting with the words: “Whoever wins, let them win.” The apparent surveillance of a retired senior military officer and his wife exposes the use of political intimidation and the abuse of State security institutions to silence opposition voices. Disagreeing with a constitutional amendment should not be a crime. The irony of a retired general being relentlessly pursued by State security agents is striking. As a young boy, he went to war to help liberate the country, returned home and helped build the military establishment that is now being used to hound him and his family. He fought to free Zimbabwe, only to find himself being persecuted by the very State he helped create. If a whole general can be hounded like this, what of an ordinary citizen?

THIS MUST STOP. I have spent decades in uniform defending a Zimbabwe I believed in. I have watched governments rise and I have watched them rot. I have held my tongue when discretion demanded it. I am holding it no longer. What is being done to my comrade, retired Air Marshal Henry Muchena, is a disgrace that strikes at the very soul of this republic. For days now, State security officers have pursued him and his wife wherever they go. Visual evidence of this surveillance has been released to the media. A retired senior military officer a man who served this nation with honour is being hounded like a common criminal, together with his wife, for the simple act of expressing a political opinion. Let us be clear about what happened. Air Marshal Muchena, together with a group of Retired Generals and former senior civil servants, met with President Emmerson Mnangagwa to express our principled opposition to Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 the so-called CAB3. We went in good faith. We spoke as men who have served this State, who have bled for it, who have built the very institutions now being turned against us. The President abruptly ended that meeting with the words: "Whoever wins, let them win." We took those words for what they were a dismissal, not of us as individuals, but of the constitutional order we fought to establish. What we did not anticipate was that the State security machinery we helped create would be deployed to harass and intimidate a retired Air Marshal and his family for daring to disagree. This is not governance. This is political persecution dressed in the uniform of State security. The irony is almost too painful to articulate. As a young boy, Henry Muchena went to war to help liberate this country. He returned home and helped build the military establishment that is now being used to hound him and his wife. He fought to free Zimbabwe, only to find himself being persecuted by the very State he helped create. If a whole General can be hunted like this surveilled, followed, intimidated in his own country what of an ordinary citizen? What of the teacher in Murewa, the vendor in Mbare, the student in Mutare who dares to raise a voice? Disagreeing with a constitutional amendment is not a crime. It is the essence of democratic citizenship. CAB3 seeks to extend presidential terms, abolish direct elections, and dismantle the safeguards our Constitution painstakingly built to prevent exactly the kind of executive overreach we are now witnessing. The Constitution's Section 328 was designed as a poison pill against self-serving amendments a protection the framers knew would one day be tested by men who confuse the State with themselves. The use of State security institutions to silence opposition voices is an abuse of power that no soldier of conscience can watch in silence. We did not liberate this country so that its security apparatus could become a private enforcement unit for political intimidation. We did not build an army, an air force, and an intelligence service so they could be turned on retired comrades and their wives for holding an opinion. To the young officers in our security services today, I say this you swore an oath to the Constitution, not to a man. You serve the Republic of Zimbabwe, not a political faction. When you are ordered to surveil a retired general who fought for your freedom to wear that uniform, you are being asked to betray the very purpose of your service. Think carefully about the orders you follow. History has a long memory, and so do the people of Zimbabwe. To President Mnangagwa, I say this Whoever wins, let them win is not a constitutional principle. It is not a governing philosophy. It is the language of a man who has forgotten that power in a republic is borrowed, not owned. Retired Lieutenant General Winston Sigauke Mapuranga. War Veteran.

NIGERIAN ARMY PULLS OUT 15 RETIRED ARTILLERY CORPS GENERALS The Nigerian Army (NA) formally pulled out 15 retired generals from the Artillery Corps on Saturday, October 19, 2024, during a ceremony at the Nigerian Army School of Artillery (NASA) in Kachia, Kaduna State. The group of retirees included 11 Major Generals and 4 Brigadier Generals. Maj Gen James Myam (rtd), speaking on behalf of the retired officers during the pulling-out parade, reflected on their long military careers, expressing fulfillment and gratitude. He attributed their success to divine grace, acknowledging God's protection throughout their years of service. He also extended his appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for the opportunity to serve and thanked the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Taoreed Lagbaja, wishing him continued strength and wisdom in his leadership of the NA. Looking back, Maj Gen Myam recalled the beginning of their military journeys when they reported to the Nigerian Defence Academy in Kaduna as Officer Cadets. He offered advice to the officers still in service, urging them to remain loyal to the Constitution and the democratically elected government, while maintaining vigilance and security consciousness. The retired general also expressed gratitude to the families, spouses, friends, instructors, and mentors who supported them throughout their careers. The event was attended by several senior retired and serving military officers, including former Chief of Army Staff, Maj Gen Alwali Kazir (rtd).

The highly controversial Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, which seeks to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term of office by an extra two years and increase the presidential term from five to seven years, has now formally entered the parliamentary process in Zimbabwe. Speaking in Parliament today, its official main driver, Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi, said all Members of Parliament would be given an opportunity to debate the Bill before it is eventually put to a vote. The Bill seeks to fundamentally alter key aspects of Zimbabwe’s governance system, including the structure of the executive, local government, and the composition of Parliament. The Bill will now be debated in Parliament and could either be passed or rejected. Those opposed to the proposed amendments within both ZANUPF and the country maintain that such far-reaching constitutional changes require a national referendum as provided for in the Constitution of Zimbabwe rather than being decided solely through Parliament. Retired military generals who met President Mnangagwa on two separate occasions say he rejected their pleas to either shelve the Bill or submit it to a referendum. According to the generals, the president dismissed their concerns by telling them, “Whoever wins, wins.” The retired generals have since declared that the Bill will never become law, setting the stage for what some fear could become a major bloody confrontation within ZANUPF between factions aligned to President Mnangagwa and Vice President General Constantino Chiwenga, involving the military. If the Bill becomes law and extends President Mnangagwa’s stay in office, it will effectively close General Chiwenga’s pathway to the presidency, deepening tensions within the ruling party over the question of succession, which in the past triggered the military coup that removed Robert Mugabe after thirty seven year in power. The battle over Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 is therefore not only about constitutional reform, but also about the future balance of power within Zimbabwe’s governing elite. According to Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi, the vote on the Bill will not be conducted by secret ballot. Instead, Members of Parliament will vote openly, either by a show of hands or by physically moving to one side of the chamber to vote in favour and to the other side to vote against the Bill. The Zimbabwean Constitutional Court will ultimately have to decide whether the Bill should be subjected to a referendum or not. That decision is likely to have profound political and constitutional consequences. If the court rules against a referendum, it could trigger a constitutional crisis and become a flashpoint for future political struggles over the legitimacy of the constitutional amendment process and the exercise of state power. If President Mnangagwa prevails, he will become the first leader of ZANUPF not to be removed from power by the military. The party’s first leader, Reverend Ndabaningi Sithole, was removed through ZANLA military action during the liberation struggle, while its second leader, Robert Mugabe, was removed by the Zimbabwean military in November 2017. If Mnangagwa emerges triumphant from this process and serves out his political ambitions without military intervention, he will become the first leader of ZANUPF to leave or die in office without being removed by the military, breaking a pattern that has shaped the party’s leadership history for decades.

A court in Zimbabwe has ordered former finance minister Tendai Biti to surrender his passport and report to the police twice a week. Biti, who is leading opposition to planned constitutional amendments that would allow 83-year-old President Emmerson Mnangagwa to extend his rule and have the presidency elected by Parliament rather than the public, is also barred from convening or addressing public gatherings. Mnangagwa, who came to power after a popular military coup against Mugabe in 2017, has said he will step down when his second term ends in 2028. However, he has not publicly opposed his ruling ZANU-PF party’s push to extend his term. His Cabinet approved the amendment proposal in February before sending it to Parliament, where the ruling party holds a majority. The proposed changes would postpone elections to 2030, allow the president to be elected by Parliament instead of by popular vote and extend both the presidential term and those of members of Parliament from five to seven years. Police in recent months have banned meetings and arrested people for gathering to express opposition to the proposed changes to ‌the constitution. Source: The Associated Press.

Retired Air Marshal Henry Muchena sets the record straight. In his 11-minute interview, he addresses the Constitution Amendment Bill No. 3. He talks about the “opportunists”who have hijacked ZANUPF. He says these lots are unelected and unelectable individuals who have purchased their way into ZANUPF Central Committee and are now causing chaos. Individuals like Kubakwake, the TEMU president, purchased the whole ZANUPF Central Committee with cars to be co-opted, and they then hijacked #CAB3 and inserted other items that had nothing to do with the bill. They are used to cutting corners everywhere and now they are denying the people of Zimbabwe their rights to a referendum! MISWAI!! #AbashaZviganda !! #NoTo2030!!

Two Suspected Burglars Caught After Dramatic Chase Near Brits; One Killed in Crash A police and private security operation led to the arrest of two men suspected of a series of housebreakings in the Mothotlung and Letlhabile areas on Wednesday. The pursuit ended tragically when the suspects' vehicle crashed, killing the driver. The incident unfolded after an alert eyewitness in Mothotlung, who had previously been targeted by the suspects and identified them via home surveillance footage, reported their sighting. This sparked a chase towards Brits. In an attempt to evade capture, the suspects' vehicle collided with the rear of a bus. The driver died at the scene. A second suspect fled on foot but was later tracked down and arrested by Letlhabile SAPS members while hiding in a nearby area. Police confirmed the recovery of suspected stolen property, including a television, from the vehicle. The identities of the suspects have not been released. Authorities are investigating both the fatal crash and the broader alleged criminal activities of the suspects. No further details were immediately available.

Zimbabwean war veteran and former intelligence officer Blessed “Bombshell” Geza, the face of the anti-Emmerson Mnangagwa 2030 campaign, has announced that he will deliver a message at 8:30 PM Zimbabwean time following the dismissal of Zimbabwe’s Army (ground forces) commander, General Anselem Nhamo Sanyatwa, yesterday by President Mnangagwa. Geza and his group oppose Mnangagwa’s plan to violate the constitution and extend his corrupt rule to 15 years by seeking a third term in office. General Sanyatwe is an ally of Vice President General Constantino Chiwenga, whom Mnangagwa does not want to succeed him, fearing a ruthless investigation into his corrupt dealings. Geza and his allies have encouraged Zimbabweans to take part in an uprising against Mnangagwa’s corrupt rule on the 31st of March.

Today, a group of Zimbabwean youths kickstarted the resistance campaign against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s plan to remove term limits and allow him to stay in office until he dies. Mnangagwa, who is 86 years old, has three and a half more years left on his current second term, which he wants to extend to 2030 and beyond. At least half of his party, ZANUPF, is also opposed to the idea, which aims to prevent Mnangagwa’s deputy, General Constantino Chiwenga, from ascending to power if ZANUPF wins the 2028 elections—a likely outcome given the collapse of Zimbabwe’s opposition. Chiwenga helped Mnangagwa remove Robert Mugabe in a military coup in 2017 when he was the Commander of the Defence Forces. Mnangagwa has destroyed what little was left by Mugabe, with Zimbabwe now experiencing the highest inflation in the world and 95% unemployment coupled with astonishing state corruption. Mnangagwa’s legacy as president will be defined by how Zimbabwe became the most corrupt nation in Southern Africa under his watch, with a thoroughly incompetent government filled with his relatives, clansmen, and friends. The few companies left are shutting down and the government is broke! The youths were singing, “2030 taramba,” meaning, “We have rejected the 2030 project.” Zimbabwe’s constitution, which came into effect in 2013, limits a president to two five-year terms.

Air Peace Honours Nigeria’s Army troops, Police Personnel By Zagazola Makama A heartwarming gesture by staff of Air Peace towards Nigerian military and police personnel has sparked an outpouring of appreciation from passengers after a video showing uniformed security personnel being applauded while boarding a flight in Abuja went viral. The video captures the moment members of the Nigerian military and Police were called forward to board an Air Peace flight ahead of other passengers, as airline staff stood and applauded them while they made their way to the aircraft. What began as a gesture by the airline’s staff soon drew other passengers into the moment, with travellers joining the applause in a spontaneous show of gratitude and support for the security personnel. The initiative, according to information accompanying the video, was introduced by the Chairman of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, as part of the airline’s efforts to recognise the sacrifices of members of Nigeria’s Armed Forces and Police. Under the initiative, military and police personnel are called to board ahead of other passengers, while Air Peace staff remain standing and applaud them as they proceed for boarding. The gesture is designed to acknowledge the often-unseen sacrifices made by security personnel, many of whom serve in difficult and dangerous environments to protect lives, maintain national security and preserve public order. Some passengers also had a moment offered an opportunity to publicly express appreciation to personnel who spend long periods away from their families and operate under demanding conditions. The spontaneous participation of other passengers transformed the boarding process into a brief but powerful moment of national solidarity. In a country where security personnel are frequently in the public spotlight during periods of insecurity, the gesture also carries a broader message that behind the uniforms are Nigerians who continue to serve under difficult circumstances and deserve recognition for their commitment to the nation. For a brief moment, the nation they serve stood up to say: Thank you for your service. Nigerian Army DEFENCE HQ NIGERIA Air Peace

Zimbabwe has never been led by politics; it has always been led by the gun from the rear. In fact, the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) has always been led by the gun — only the Zimbabwe African People’s Union (ZAPU) was led by politics. The first leader of ZANU was Ndabaningi Sithole. He was removed by the Mgagao Declaration, which was signed by the military wing of ZANU, the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA). The chairman of ZANU and its external leader was Herbert Chitepo. He was also killed by ZANLA in Zambia according to an international commission of inquiry set up by Zambian president, Dr Kenneth Kaunda. The next leader of ZANU was Robert Mugabe. He was installed by the military, although Samora Machel the president of Mozambique had advised them against the idea. Machel was proved right in the fullness of time, but it was the military that endorsed Mugabe through Rex Nhongo who became known as Solomon Mujuru. The Lancaster House talks in Britain were almost stalled by Mugabe’s intransigence, but it was General Josiah Tongogara, with the help of Samora Machel, who forced Mugabe to sign — after Machel sent his special aide, Fernando Honwana, to tell Mugabe to sign or come back to Maputo and write his memoirs on the beach. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, it was the military, through its commanders, that influenced politics. In fact, any time Mugabe felt threatened, it was the military that sorted out party problems. General Solomon Mujuru was nicknamed the Kingmaker because of that, he was a powerful behind-the-scenes Politburo influencer when he was the overall commander of the army. Post-2000, it was the military that kept ZANUPF in power and actually ran its elections in tandem with the CIO. It was General Vitalis Zvinavashe who threatened citizens saying the military won’t accept a Morgan Tsvangirai victory. Though not a visible Politburo member in the 1980s, he was deeply embedded in both party and military affairs. General Constantino Chiwenga was effectively a military commissar for ZANUPF, executing the first bloodless coup in 2008 when the military stopped Morgan Tsvangirai from taking over after defeating Robert Mugabe. He was heavily involved in the 2013 elections with Air Marshal Muchena and eventually carried out a military coup that put Mnangagwa and the current regime in power. When the new crop of so called technocrats was appointed by Mugabe in 2000, it was General Chiwenga who was involved and when they hit a brick wall, they would return to him. The first time the military refused to be involved in politics — which is the real first aberration — was two weeks ago, when General Anselem Nhamo Sanyatwe refused to deploy soldiers against civilians and was fired for that. The ZANUPF spokesman Christopher Mutsvangwa called it disloyalty. If President Emmerson Mnangagwa manages to fire General Chiwenga tomorrow, as rumours suggest, without any blowback or deadly consequences, he would become the first ZANUPF leader to lead the gun — and not be removed by the military. So I disagree with the notion by my brother, Prof Jonathan Moyo, that the 2017 coup was an aberration. It wasn’t — it was the norm. What was an aberration was the amount of violence against the CIO and police officers who tried to resist. What has kept Emmerson Mnangagwa in power after his power struggle with his Vice President is his clansman, General Philip Valerio Sibanda who is the Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces. He is opposed to General Chiwenga taking over as president and has been a stumbling block for the Vice President. Mnangagwa has been strategic by removing the former ZANLA army commanders from the top of the military because they are loyal to Chiwenga, who was in ZANLA, and replacing them with ex-Zimbabwe People’s Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) commanders. General Sibanda and the Commander of the Army, General Emmanuel Matatu, are both ex-ZIPRA, and they are all from the Midlands, like Mnangagwa.

Like the Lebanese army, the Internal Security Forces are unable to confront Hezbollah on the issue of weapons. The “Hezbollah state” has the power to arrest (in effect, kidnap) members of the Lebanese Internal Security Forces and negotiate with the Lebanese state for their release. On January 23, 2026, a police patrol of the Lebanese Internal Security Forces, ISF (قوى الامن الداخلي ) stopped two Hezbollah trucks in the Al-Tayoune (الطيونة) area of Beirut, near a police station and military base. The trucks were parked suspiciously, had no license plates, and had tinted windows. When the police patrol approached to check the trucks, Hezbollah operatives attacked the patrol. At the end of the confrontation, Hezbollah operatives detained one of the security forces personnel and managed to prevent the patrol from uncovering the contents of the trucks. According to local reports, the trucks were carrying Hezbollah military equipment that had been smuggled from Syria through one of the illegal border crossings with Lebanon. The Hezbollah trucks continued on their way toward the “security square” in Dahiya. In light of the incident, negotiations began between the State of Lebanon and the “State of Hezbollah.” Hezbollah's representative in the negotiations was Ali Ayoub, head of Hezbollah's Security Committee, which is in effect the independent police force of the “State of Hezbollah.” Following the negotiations, Hezbollah released the security forces officer it had detained and promised to hand over the trucks to the security forces at a “later date.” In practice, this means that the trucks and their contents will not be handed over to the security forces. The Hezbollah operatives involved were not arrested or investigated. Hezbollah does as it pleases in Lebanon. This is yet another test case, this time in the context of internal security forces, which demonstrates the inability of the Lebanese security forces in general to confront Hezbollah on the issue of weapons. Attached is a report from the Lebanese "MTV" channel about the incident.

Pafeya, the GNU exposed the true face of the opposition, the moment they stepped into their ministerial offices, they gladly embraced the status quo. They demanded diplomatic passports, flew business class, slept in five-star hotels, and drove luxury cars. They eagerly accepted lavish housing packages,yet today, Retired Air Marshal Muchena, a frail old fella is being uniquely crucified for receiving his Greendale home, a standard retirement benefit that was long overdue and granted to many other retired generals. This hypocrisy proves that no one in politics actually wants to dismantle the system, they all simply want to control it. Tikabvisa variko tinorira maiwee again! Zambia 🇿🇲 is the sign !!

The Zimbabwean capital, Harare, is now virtually a military zone as the Zimbabwean tyrant, Emmerson Mnangagwa, has deployed military hardware in the city center, fearing protests ahead of the SADC summit, which starts in a week and a half. This level of paranoia stems from Mnangagwa’s illegitimacy and his looting of public funds, which has led to dilapidated hospitals and a dysfunctional public service that is failing to deliver clean drinking water. The dictator has arrested over 100 pro-democracy activists, using abductions and torture. One of the activists has a one-year-old child in jail, while another lost their child and was not allowed to bury them. The increased militarisation of Harare ahead of the SADC summit serves as a stark reminder of Mnangagwa's authoritarian rule and his willingness to use force to suppress dissent. The deployment of military hardware in the city center reflects the regime’s fear of potential protests and its determination to maintain control through intimidation and repression, while violating the constitution.

“If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth.” On this day in 1971, Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange, and one of the greatest journalists to ever live, was born. Throughout his career, he exposed US war crimes and the truth behind imperialist wars, the corruption of governments all around the world, and how our right to privacy has been bludgeoned and eroded by the national security state. For the crime of telling the truth and exposing the crimes of Washington’s empire, Julian Assange’s life was made a living hell by NATO nation intelligence agencies and governments. From 2012-2019 he was forced to remain in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London to avoid arrest and extradition to the USA. In 2019 after Ecuador withdrew his asylum, he was jailed for over 5 years while fighting US extradition and the plan of the national security state to imprison him for 175 years in a supermax prison. In 2024 under the Biden Administration, he reached a plea deal with the US and was finally released to return home to Australia. Following his release, Julian Assange revealed how the CIA targeted his family: “It is now a matter of public record that under Pompeo's explicit direction, the CIA drew up plans to kidnap and assassinate me within the Ecuadorian embassy in London and authorized going after my European colleagues, subjecting us to theft, hacking attacks, and the planting of false information. My wife and my infant son were also targeted. A CIA asset was permanently assigned to track my wife, and instructions were given to obtain DNA from my 6-month-old son's nappy. This is the testimony of more than 30 current and former US intelligence officials speaking to the US press, which has been additionally corroborated by records seized in a prosecution brought against some of the CIA agents involved. The CIA's targeting of myself, my family, and my associates through aggressive, extrajudicial, and extraterritorial means provides a rare insight into how powerful intelligence organizations engage in transnational repression."
