Troops 'must back Mugabe or quit'

Zimbabwe's army chief has told soldiers they must
leave the military if they do not vote for incumbent
President Robert Mugabe in next month's run-off poll.

Chief-of-staff Maj Gen Martin Chedondo said soldiers
had signed up to protect Mr Mugabe's principles of

"If you have other thoughts, then you should remove
that uniform," he said.

Gen Chedondo was speaking at a target-shooting
competition outside Harare, the Herald newspaper
reported.
