a Row of mass media finds
to the analysis of political crisis to Zimbabwe.
on November 22 in Beijing there took place press conference Ministry of Foreign Affairs of People's Republic of China on which the official representative of the ministry Shuan Gen answered questions of journalists apropos resignations Robert Gabriel Mugabe. Shuan Gen made a curtsey towards Mugabe Grace, having noted that Beijing respects its decision on resignation, but will remember always at the same time the period of its board as the most fruitful for developments the Chinese-Zimbabwean relations. It also expressed confidence of that, as at the new president cooperation China and Zimbabwe will extend only. One of journalists reminded that, for example, United States of America and United Kingdom hoped that the new president will be elected as a result of free and fair general election, but it did not occur. The question, what position China followed. Shuan Gen answered that China adheres to the principle of non-interference to domestic policy of other countries .
the Portal of "Vanji" Lin Suntyanem concerning so-called "the Chinese trace" power changes to Zimbabwe placed interview to the ambassador China to South Africa . After the official representative the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Lu Kann , Lin confirms that visit of the general Chivengi to Beijing was planned long before the specified events and approved as the president Robert Gabriel Mugabe. China always adhered to the principle of respect of the state sovereignty of other countries. Assumptions that Beijing was informed on preparing revolution and even authorized it, stated by some western SMI,<"73>" no more than vapoury conjectures with the purpose to bring dissonance in the Chinese-African cooperation and to discredit an image China on the international scene.
In the analytical comment on "Xing's" portal are analyzed by
One more comment Van Hunji , the specialist of the Center placed on the same portal West Asia and Africa Academies of social sciences China. He notes that with leaving Mugabe Afrik, at last, put the end to long history of anti-colonial fight as it was the last of leaders of the national liberation movement, still being in power. Van Hunji is sure that now the continent finally will join in a world production chain, will attract more actively foreign investments and technologies. The era of revolutionary fight, opposition with the West and compulsory equalizing of the income will consign to the past. Besides, in the comment it is said that if earlier power change in Mugabe Afrik always associated with armed conflicts and human victims which occurred in connection with army intervention, an outcome of political crisis to Zimbabwe, probably, will promote revision of definition of "military coup" in more positive side — so peace, the civilized and arranging all sectors of society transition of the power were provided by army of the country .
In a material on an English-speaking site Global Times also are claimed that army actions under supervision of the general Chivengi cannot be considered illegal as they corresponded to will of overwhelming part of the population Zimbabwe, and therefore did not lead to human victims and losses. And for this reason and the international community the occurred events a military coup did not hurry to declare African Union were uninterested. However at it as approves Global Times, is not present political experience, even relative support among the population, necessary for power deduction in the hands because Mugabe Grace it was always known for the scandalous behavior and a wasteful way of life.
Nevertheless on an official portal of the party newspaper Newspaper "Zhenmin zhibao" on-line is told that in the country not everything is so unambiguous, and Emmerson Mnangagve as to the president should face serious calls. The matter is that the army, ruling party of ZANU-PF and Opposition party Zimbabwe "Movement for democratic changes" united only for short term and for the only purpose — discharge Mugabe Afrik from the power. In process of approach of presidential election which are planned for summer of 2018, their contradictions will become aggravated only, considering that at ruling and oppositional parties very different views on a way of developments the countries. The hardest situation in national economy which hardly will manage to be overcome less than in a year becomes the soil for political friction: enormous deficiency of gross domestic product , unemployment at the level of 90%, crisis of national currency and ruin in agriculture.
