The two opposition parties in Zambia have warned that the ruling party – Patriotic Front risk throwing the country into chaos.
FDD Spokesperson Antonio Mwanza and UPND Presidential Adviser Douglas Siakalima featuring on Radio Phoenix’s Let the People talk programme charged that the PF is pushing the people to war.
Siakalima said when people are oppressed a time comes when they say enough is enough and raise to the extent that the State will not manage to control them.
He warned that it is just a matter of time saying Zambians weren’t docile as some people may think.
Siakalima however warned that the Edgar Lungu regime will be held responsible if the country degenerate into war.
Mwanza said at the rate things are going Zambia would slide into civil war because of the way the PF is brutalising those they perceive as opponents.
He cited an incident where a battalion of armed police officers were unleashed on FDD leader to hound her out of the Copperbelt province where she was campaigning.
On campaigns, Siakalima said the PF had kicked off campaigns for 2016 while blocking the opposition. He called on the ruling party to realise that Zambia was democracy and allow the opposition to campaign.
Mwanza said FDD will be holding a congress in March 2016 in readiness for tripartite elections

NO WAR IN ZAMBIA, NOT EVER….if you disagree with your family do you go for war? imwe amwanza…..
The dilemma of illiteracy is failing to understand simple statements. Whether one mentions it or not, when the Government becomes the major terroriser of the masses, the inevitable happens. What Mwanza and Siakalima are saying is the truth. No one will escape PF thuggery should the others decide to hit back. Somalia, CAR, Libya, Syria and many others were also beacons of peace at one time and the Government terrorised their citizens until people decided enough was enough. A peaceful and fair ground should be prepared for democratic elections if peace must continue. without that whether you supress Antonio Mwanza or not, this country will go up in flames. Please don’t force us to support your leader. We will respect him if he wins again but only in a fair and peaceful environment. Militias in the name of PF illiterate cadres should never be allowed to disturb our good relationships we have in this Country. The entire PF media team is a terror group whose job is to spread hate messages. This is unacceptable.
Even the longest journey starts with a small step. If you fear what you have said about war, tell your chakolwa to stop militarizing z police and harassing innocent Zambians in a democratic country.
Thats absolutely true that PF is gearing for a civil war. The signs are clearly marked out there. Why would a very poor state buy satelite phones for all its cabinet miniters when even the UK can not afford to spend money on such items.
Lungu knows that Zambians are really fade up with PF that anytime they will take matters into their hands and rise up against the PF. So is preparing his men and women to take up arms against the Zambian people and go in the bush where they will communicate using the satelite phones.
Zambians its better to die fighting than dying of disease and hunger because PF has stolen all money meant for hospitals.
Zambian needs another strong protest movement like the one that forced KK out in the 90s.
Viva UPND . Vote UPND 2016.
