SUBJECT: ZCTU CALLS FOR STAYAWAY AUGUST 2-4 TO PROTEST
CONTINUING POLITICAL VIOLENCE

KEEP THE PEACE AND AVOID CONFRONTATIONS WITH POLICE OR
RULING PARTY SUPPORTERS. PRESIDENT MUGABE HAS MADE NO
STATEMENT ABOUT THE STAYAWAY, WITH GOZ OFFICIALS DESCRIBING
THE EVENT SIMPLY AS "UNFORTUNATE," OR PART OF THE WIDER
CONSPIRACY BENT ON DISCREDITING THE RULING PARTY. IN THE
END, THOUGH, WE DO NOT EXPECT THE EVENT TO ACCOMPLISH MUCH;
THE POWER TO RESTORE THE RULE OF LAW ON THE OCCUPIED FARMS
AND IN THE HIGH-DENSITY SUBURBS RESTS WITH ONE MAN -- AND
MUGABE CONTINUES TO SHOW NO INTEREST IN DOING SO. END
COMMENT.
