False revolutions

The MDCs dodged a bullet. Zimbabwe’s economy is a minefield. Zimbabweans had unrealistically high economic expectations for MDC T, had it won the election. Like The Moslem Brotherhood and Egypt, had MDC T failed to deliver  jobs, unrest would have ensued.

Imagine 2016, had MDC T won., Zanu agitators and crony security elements would have created havoc. An army with Zanu would have recaptured Zimbabwe. Just like Egypt today, they would be a state of emergency and fighting in the streets. That is not so, Zanu sits on the throne of Zimbabwean economic failure. They are lording over a social time-bomb.

Egypt has released Mubarak. The elected, Morsi, has been detained. Given the security forces had power and Morsi had no leverage over the army, secret police and police, Morsi's removal  was predetermined. MDCs have no leverage over Zimbabwe's military-security complex, economic challenges would have left them exposed. Watching The Muslim Brotherhood dodging bullets helps all people realise they was no revolution in Egypt.
