The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) has appealed to President Michael Sata to protect the Zambian people from harasements.
YALI President Andrew Ntewewe said the President has a duty to protect the citizens and ensure that there rights are protected.He noted the country is slowly diverging from being peaceful to intolerance.
Ntewewe was speaking when he feature on UNZA radio programme, the Lusaka star on Thursday. He noted that attacks on innocent citizens has continued while the police and government is just watching.Ntewewe has since vowed to continue the fight for justice and to continue speaking out on the ills of government.
He said the Civil Society Organisations will not relent nor be intimidated by anyone.He charged that they will continue fighting for the good of the country.
The country has been experiecing attacks on opposition leaders and civil society who are seemed to be critical of government.Suspected PF on Wednesday attacked Alliance for Better Zambia (ABZ) President Father Frank Bwalya who they poured opaque beer on
It is shameful that the so called party in government is busy terrorising its own people for political appetite! But they need to know that they wont be in power forever. One day they will give an account!
Andrew, the man you are crying to has a philosophy that is rooted in violence. Violence is like a talisman which he uses to satisfy his personal ego. This is the man who used to go round markets whipping women who did not have UNIP membership cards during KK’s tyrannical rule. He is the man that went into Chawama with a band of panga-wielding thugs that beat up people with opposing views when he was in MMD. You saw how he insulted Edward Mumbi at a polling station just before he became president. Just look at what is happening today. He is sending thugs everywhere wherever he hears a dissenting voice. But fortunately, Zambians are not like Zimbabweans. A day will come when they will tell him that his game is over.
A human appeal that should not be
scorned.
YALI you do not understand the matter, how can you cry to the man sending them to beat you up. The more you cry to him the more he laughs and feels good and says to himself ati, ‘NAMUCHITA’
