ZIMBABWE-HARARE-Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe was tipped off against going to Ecuador by the America Central Intelligence Agency, as they had information about an impending political upheaval in the volatile country, Zimdaily has learnt.
Despite posturing about anti- American sentiment, Zimdaily has it on good authority that Mugabe abruptly cut short his trip and returned to Zimbabwe after the CIA warned him of a threat to his personal safety if he went ahead with the trip.
And he promptly cancelled, catching even members of his won party by surprise by flying back immediately after the UN General Assembly meeting.
Ecuador was in the throes of a police mutiny last week which saw the police attack the president Rafael Correa, hitting him in the head with a teargas canister and later besieging a hospital he had been taken to. Correa eventually left the hospital hidden under the coats of loyal soldiers.
“The American intelligence agency got in touch with their Zimbabwean counterparts and laid clear the threat to Mugabe should he travel to Ecuador,” a member of the delegation told Zimdaily.
“While President Mugabe had been growing increasingly disillusioned with the degree after continued media revelations of the conferring bishop’s character, the final push was the information supplied by the CIA.
“Initially there was a push to reject it as it is well known that our agencies do not get along well, but in international relations, sometimes it is easier to share than not to share, especially if it is about things that can emerge later and cause embarrassment,” the source continued.
In August Bishop Walter Roberto Crespo, who leads a discredited faction of the Anglicans in Ecuador, visited Zimbabwe to confer Mugabe with an Honorary Doctorate in Civil Law. He claimed the honour was in recognition of Mugabe’s ‘good leadership.’
Crespo leads an internationally unrecognised faction of the Anglican Church, similar to that of Zanu PF bootlicker Nolbert Kunonga – who brought the discredited gun runner to Zimbabwe.
Zanu PF put out a statement that the President had to return tot Zimbabwe because of “pressing State matters.”
