Zimbabwe: Army will crush any Egyptian-style uprising

Zimbabwe's defence minister has said the army will crush any Egyptian-style uprising led by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai. The latter said last week that there is nothing wrong with people demanding their rights, including in Zimbabwe. 'We in Zanu PF (Mugabe’s party, ed.) are determined to make sure that there is peace,' defence minister Emmerson Mnangagwa said to military commanders in the weekend. 'Those who may want to emulate what happened in Tunisia or what is happening in Egypt will regret it because we will not allow any chaos in this country,' Mnangagwa said.
