… regrettably, people resort to such in fear of electoral malpractices…
New Hope MMD Spokesperson, Dr Cephas Mukuka says people should not celebrate coups in anyway, as such change of governments are not constitutional.
In an interview with Zambian Eye, this afternoon, Dr Mukuka said, however, people behave differently and as such it is common that some would celebrate unconstitutional change of governments.
“Different people behave differently, moreover if the regime was autocratic, it leaves citizens with no option but to celebrate,” he said.
Dr Mukuka added that while coups should not be cause for joy, it is however, common for citizens to celebrate the fall of autocratic regimes.
“Citizens always rejoice when corrupt and autocratic regimes are ousted,” he said.
He emphasized that coups should never be supported in anyway, and added that at times, the fear of electoral malpractices leave people with limited choices.
“People resort to such in fear of election malpractice,” he said.
Dr Mukuka took a swipe at the African Union (AU) for being hypocritical, after the continental body suspended Mali, following a recent coup, but did not take a similar stand on Zimbabwe.
In November 2017, the Zimbabwean military seized power from the then President Robert Mugabe who is now late.
The army placed Mugabe under house arrest and forced him to resign.
The AU did not suspend Zimbabwe.
“AU is playing double standards which should not be entertained in any case,” he added.
Reasoning is what makes us to be human beings , however coups are a curse and not to be celebrated very soon those people will be crying to allow a soldier to rule, soldiers are not the best people to rule any nation they are not civilians who understand other civilians.
Soldiers are trained to be cruel they don’t joke, the way you insult your president cannot be accepted in military rule.
Democratic governance is just the best where you prove yourself to be the best caring person, here people are respected and not in military you are abused and you don’t say anything .
