Zimbabwe president calls for ‘peace’ as clashes erupt after poll

HARARE, Aug 1, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Wednesday
called for peace as police fired water cannon and teargas at opposition
supporters in Harare over alleged fraud in Zimbabwe’s elections.

“At this crucial time, I call on everyone to desist from provocative
declarations and statements,” he said on Twitter. “Now is the time for
responsibility and above all, peace.”
