MDC: Movement for Disquieting Compromise

MDC:Movement for Disquieting Compromise?
There is little doubt that a lot of wheeling and dealing is going on in the so-called inclusive government in Zimbabwe. Politicians hidden away in the proverbial smoke filled rooms are making decisions that will not only have far-reaching implications for the future of all Zimbabweans, at home and abroad, but also on the career prospects of many of the politicians making these deals.
Zimbabweans must begin to realize that these backroom deals are an assault on the democratic process; they are nothing more than an attempt by ZANU-PF to hold on to ill-gotten political positions and wealth by making it possible for the MDC formations to swallow the bitter pill of electoral theft administered by Robert Mugabe.
We are now told that the service chiefs may be willing to salute Tsvangirai, as if the whole country had been waiting with baited breath for that development. In fact, I suspect that the rest of us have been waiting for the service chiefs to do what they promised a few short years ago: that they would rather resign than salute Tsvangirai.
We need a new crop of police and military leaders to take charge of the security services and lead these forces out of the dungeon of despair into the sunshine of accountability.
It is fair to ask just what is in these deals for the MDC. What are they hoping to achieve by virtually re-baptizing themselves as the Movement for Disquieting Compromise? I suspect that a lot of wishful thinking is going on but I also know that this once gallant movement could emerge unrecognisable from this give and take with the forces of darkness.
