12:03 pm
a coalition. of the opposition at this point that had pulled out of the election maintains that this is not a legitimate government and they won't recognize it they say this decision from the supreme court was made under duress and they sympathize with the court of course indicating that they don't believe the supreme court was acting independently now the opposition's also saying that it wants its supporters to remain calm not to take to the streets just yet it wants to talk the way forward itself they will indicate a later time exactly what happens next so far they haven't pocked on the sly campaign of civil disobedience and economic boycotts at one point the opposition even saying they would sway in raila odinga as an alternative president at what they're calling a people's assembly but here outside the supreme court where there's a decision was made not too long ago supporters of the hurricane yards are
12:04 pm
continuing to celebrate a smaller crowd now than earlier they say this is a big victory and they're looking forward to the president being sworn in for his second and final term next week. but for me that this is not the end of the story really is it because ryder a day has indicated that is not really happy he's not going to accept the results and he is going to launch what he calls a national resistance movement. yet we seem to have lost sound to correspondent for me the. who's in nairobi. all right we're going to need to zimbabwe now because step down or face impeachment these are the choices for the zimbabwean president robert mugabe has already been removed as party leader and the chorus of calls for
12:05 pm
him to quit is growing in less than an hour from now we should find out his fate the leader of the influential zimbabwe war veterans association has called on the people to act against the president's leadership we want the war population. in giving an unmistakable message that we want to see mugabe is back the country has to start on a new page is the rule is the disaster was particularly the last fifteen years no country has been reduced to the level of deeply dition which is what we're going through with the only country which is going to war it is totally or bleeding us to the damage which has been doing business in mobile who played. with indulging. in the dirty way that's what has been his business in parliament. for a christmas rangar the pats amazed very call of the opponents of president mugabe at the moment heron macassar our correspondent in harare and her what is
12:06 pm
a situation where we're approaching an hour before this deadline that's been set for the president to either resign voluntarily or face impeachment proceedings. it's calm and quiet people quietly thinking about how the day is going to turn out is president mugabe going to resign when the deadline comes i'm joined by pastor even maori he's the man who organized those anti-government protests last year we saw thousands of people come out to the streets do you think the president mugabe is going to resign today well it might not be today but he has no choice he definitely has to resign he's been fired by his own party and on such a day the citizens of zimbabwe came together literally in their hundreds of thousands to demand that he must go so there's no turning back there's no way out he must resign do you feel the president understands that a lot of people are saying he must go i think he does understand that now
12:07 pm
especially because of the march that happened on saturday i think you understand that people want him to go but his pride holds him back and i think he's trying to look for something to salvage with him that at least says that i am i have been a father of this nation when you listen to the speech that he gave last night you could tell that he was trying to hold on to be something relevant for us and unfortunately that's gone now with his legacy at the end the day we seeing the army and politicians negotiating trying to ask the prison to step down what can ordinary zimbabweans ordinary zimbabweans need to understand that citizens must not disengage from this process we have to be a part of it we were out here on sunday yesterday in our thousands praying for our nation citizens can get together they can pray citizens can encourage each other this is a very important aspect of this process encouraging and keeping the hope alive hope is all we have left we have lost everything else and if we lose hope then we lose the future citizens importantly encourage it be positive but this is definitely
12:08 pm
going to happen and we're staring a new zimbabwe in the face no two ways about it. thank you very much so the war veterans are also calling on all parliamentarians to. meet on tuesday for the vote of no confidence and encouraging zimbabweans that on the same day of the parliament a meeting is about we should also be out in the streets all right harris thank you for that getting the very latest from the zimbabwean capital now we can talk to. who is senior consultant for southern africa at the international crisis group he's joining us now from johannesburg in neighboring south africa this is a very crucial moment we got an hour to go before this deadline we've still got a very united zanu p.f. in line with the army but the president seems to still be holding out. yes you know it's been a confusing seventy two hours or so in terms of the pendulum swinging backwards and forwards will he or won't he leave office it certainly does look as though the
12:09 pm
cards are stacked against him but of course mr mugabe is well known for his unilateral stance on issues i'm a world still continue to resist holding out for the static meeting tomorrow for example to see whether they will make a statement i have to say i'm a little bit surprised that christmas of anger and the war veterans are calling for millions of zimbabweans to come to the streets at this juncture it kind of reflects that a lack of control over the other stage managed processes and the negotiations that are taking place behind closed doors that you have to put millions on the streets or hundreds of thousands on the streets to demonstrate that the game is up i was actually get to ask you about this process which is being very delicately handled i mean this is a coup by another name isn't it yet there seems to be a huge amount of orchestration and tiptoeing around the man that it has led this
12:10 pm
country only is forty years a man that still he still elicits a certain amount of reverence and deference. yes i think that that is partly the case and yesterday of course while we didn't get a resignation what the military got was a clarity from the president himself that this was not a coup d'etat so they got some kind of legal cover out of that process where they knew he was not going to resign there beggars belief really that the they didn't know what was inside that statement so this raised the question about the extent to which this was choreographed yesterday evening but of course it then goes back to the fundamental problem of how do they then deal with zanu p.f. how does he preside over a congress of a party that he is effectively been fired from in terms of his position so you know questions about did he even really know what the congress had actually resolved and to what extent are the military singing off the same hymn sheet as other allies of
12:11 pm
mr man and god will like the war veteran indeed nobody seems to have seen mr mom and dad or i'm just wondering there is a vacuum pretty much at the very top is involved way it must be really important this vacuum is filled sooner rather than later yes absolutely tweeted last night actually where is mr man and god we haven't seen or heard of him since he issued his statement in response to his dismissal when he fled the country last week he was appointed on sunday as the head of zanu p.f. yet he has been nowhere to be seen this is not a good sign in terms of setting a good precedent for new leadership in zimbabwe all right for now piers piers you thank you very much indeed for talking us through the situation in zimbabwe at this moment thanks rhi let's go to iraq now where the top court has ruled that september's kurdish referendum on secession was unconstitutional iraq's kurds voted
