HARARE (AFP) - Zimbabwe's opposition vowed to see through its campaign to topple President Robert Mugabe as its leader left hospital in a wheelchair Friday following his beating at the hands of the security services.
Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) president Morgan Tsvangirai was whisked away from the private Avenues hospital in downtown Harare to his home and later failed to show at a press conference as he was under doctor's orders to rest.
However senior MDC officials and other opposition leaders promised to take to the streets again to demonstrate against the government and took a swipe at African leaders whose response to the assaults has so far been muted.
"We are in the final phase of the final push," said MDC secretary general Tendai Biti.
"We are going to do anything by democratic means to defeat the regime of Robert Mugabe."
