HARARE, Zimbabwe – According to hospital sources; the recent political aggression left at least three people injured. On the reaction a state-owned radio blamed their prime minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, on Thursday; for enticing masses for anti-government protests as currently going on in Egypt and experienced by Tunisia earlier.
The state broadcaster referred recent remarks by Morgan Tsvangirai to the Fox News in which he supported mass protests in Tunisia and Egypt and purportedly inferred that he supported similar action in Zimbabwe.
