Zimbabwe will not succumb to forces of aggression bent on destabilisation of the country, but will continue defending its inheritance, territorial integrity, sovereignty and gains of the liberation struggle, Vice-President Joseph Msika said here on Thursday.

Msika was quoted by ZBC News as saying that Zimbabwe has been enjoying peace and tranquillity since independence in 1980 despite futile attempts by imperialists machinations and lies peddled by western media to destabilise the country.

Speaking at graduation of 304 police officers in Harare, Musika said the police and other law enforcement agents should strengthen their vigilance and deal effectively with all illegal, violent demonstrations among other disturbances which are being sponsored by the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).

Msika said the government will not stand aside and watch such political manoeuvres threatening peace and stability which was born out of a protracted liberation struggle.

He reminded the opposition party MDC that the so called regime change can only come through the masses in a free and fair election.

Msika urge the police not to be deterred from executing their duties, saying the previous spate of violence which sparked the country were meant to depict a picture of violence in a country that has been at peace for the past 26 years.
