Security sector reform

This is my first posting. The idea here is to discuss the Zimbabwean military and issue relevant to the security of Zimbabwe.

Currently there is a lot of talk and push by external forces to reform the security sector in Zimbabwe. Just the idea of external forces, especially hostile forces to Zimbabwe pushing the country to change and reform its security structures is suspicious to say the least. The details of a country’s military are discussed by a select few of its citizens as a sensitive and very important issue.

The idea of countries that have advocated for “regime change”, countries that have sent commandoes and spies into Zimbabwe, countries that have ideas, proposals and plans drawn up by their military institutions on invading the country so they can have access to our resources, countries whose prime ministers have asked their military commanders on how to invade Zimbabwe ... ... the idea that these countries can even be listened to when it comes to structure our defence force is absurd to say the least. It is like asking the burglar of the village how best to secure your house.
