We express satisfaction that SADC appreciates its overall Policy Direction and Control Responsibility within the community, particularly in relation to the disputed elections in Zimbabwe. > Consequently, we urge SADC to urgently tackle the genuine risk posed by the sham August plebiscite to regional stability. > The crisis cannot be disregarded, as it visibly strains social services in neighboring countries and lays the groundwork for widespread insecurity. > On behalf of our citizens, we filed a petition with SADC under its SEAC Dispute Resolution mechanisms, which facilitate peaceful resolution of electoral disputes in the region, aiming to deepen democratic standards and preserve peace and stability. > It is time for decisive regional action. We call upon SADC to uphold their Observer Mission Report and facilitate a process whereby Zimbabwe can regain legitimacy, firmly rooted in the free will of the people. > This will ensure stability in the region and discourage anti-democratic regimes from obstructing the collective will of their citizens. > Only then can the regional destabilization stemming from Zimbabwe’s deepening political crisis be resolved.
