| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The testimony of ex-servicemen provides a unique insight into Zimbabwe's security architecture. The country's war veterans - many only in their early twenties at independence - are still firmly embedded in the status quo, and remain ideologically committed to Zanu-PF. Though junior officers may be disillusioned, a coup is nevertheless unlikely unless Mugabe loses control of the carefully constructed system of fear, nepotism and loyalty. |
