• The state media has become an actor in the ongoing massive human rights violations. The Forum calls upon the state media that is funded by the taxpayer, to stop its current propaganda that is fuelling state violence and fanning hostilities in violation of the founding values of Constitution of Zimbabwe and the values of peace journalism. The state media must do its work responsibly in service of the nation not be used in pursuit of a partisan parochial political agenda. • The Forum notes the call for national dialogue and underscores that the sincerity of any dialogue by the government is only tested by halting the violence. Whatever dialogue to be preferred must not be a political elite pact as was the 2008 Global Political Agreement. It must be an inclusive dialogue which includes the people of Zimbabwe as represented in various formations including churches, civil society, labour, victims of human rights violations, professional associations, the business community and Zimbabwean diaspora community. 9.0 Conclusion As the Forum continues to monitor the situation and keep the world updated, it is important that national leadership from all sectors be seen to play a positive role in ending the ongoing violations and charting a new way towards the peaceful resolution of the ongoing conflicts. The human rights sector believes that human dignity is sacred. Under no circumstances must the dignity of the people be violated. The ongoing violations must stop and the process of healing must commence. 15
