THE role of the military has risen to the top of the political agenda as Zimbabwe’s fractious coalition debates the prospect of fresh elections in 2013 or, if President Robert Mugabe has his way, before then. The question haunting members of the MDC, the opposition party that joined Mugabe’s Zanu PF in a coalition government after violently disputed elections in 2008, is how the security establishment will react if the MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, the prime minister, wins and becomes commander-in-chief.

The harassment of ZANU-PF’s perceived opponents extends to civic society groups, human rights lawyers and the private media.While the police have been quick to arrest suspected MDC-T perpetrators of violence, they have not done the same to ZANU-PF sup...
