“The struggle hasn't ended. It's only just begun in our view. In the sense that if all goes well during the elections and we emerge as the government there will still be another form of struggle.

In the initial period we will expect all the support groups we have here in Britain and elsewhere to concentrate their efforts in enabling us to resettle our people.” PeopleIfsWellsStillsGovernmentFormViewsEffortSupportStruggleGroupsPeriodsElectionBritainElsewhereInitialsEnablingReconstructionSupport Groups Author:Robert Mugabe
