The Committee of Citizens (CC) has said the current debate on the Barotse Agreement should be condemned by every well meaning Zambian as it had potential to engulf the country into ethnic violence.
Committee Executive Director Gregory Chifire said Zambians should distance themselves from the debate as it was being driven by people with selfish motives who were only interested in fanning dangerous ethnic and tribal divisions in the country.
Mr. Chifire said this in a media statement made available to ZANIS in Lusaka today.
He condemned some leaders from named political parties for capitalizing on the Barotse issue describing this as cheap propaganda.
Mr Chifire said it was hypocritical for some political leaders to claim support of the issue when they were on record of having opposed it in the past.
“It is dangerous for any selfish politician or group of people to demand for issues that threaten the peace, stability and unity of our country” Mr. Chifire said.
Mr. Chifire called on Zambians to draw lessons from what was happening in other African countries which were characterised by bloody ethnic violence has due to secession demands.
He accused people championing the restoration of the Baroste Agreement of 1964 in Western Province of being insincere saying their demands were already being addressed by Government.
President Rupiah Banda has said Government would not tolerate violence being perpetrated by an excited group of people trying to use the Barotse Agreement.

Would rather not comment. I just think we need to start regulating some of these titles. Greg is a bungwe who was declared untrainable at CBU (meaning he is VERY VERY DULL). This is belittling the title of Executive Director.
I thought it was Angela SeaFire speaking kanshi nili itole.
GREGORY JUST SHUT UP. PEOPLE HAVE MOVED ON FFROM THE ISSUE AND YOU ARE STILL RAISING THE DEBATE STUPID *****. IS THIS GUY THE BROTHER TO THE GIRL CHIFIRE WHO IS ONE OF THOSE RUPIAH’S MANY WIVES? STOP IRRITATING PEOPLE AND SQUEEZE YOUR SPHINCTER MUSCLE A BIT TIGHTER TO STOP YOUR BADLY SMELLING WIND FROM BREAKING THROUGH!!!! I JUST WISH THE OPPOSITION COULD GET THEIR ACT IN ORDER AND WIN 2011 ELECTIONS. TWATENDWA PAFULA!!
And what position does this mangwam hold in grz.
Just what the hell does this lumpen mean by saying that the debate is threatening ‘the peace, stability and unity of our country?’ It’s amazing how some Zambians would rather shy away from hard and sensitive topics and just pray and wish they would go away like smoke in the wind. Only in this case its ‘umulandu ushibola’. The next thing Chifire will realise is a Barotseland explosion right in his smelly backside where it never shines.
ah! i thought it was Angela Chifire making headlines. i regret reading
let us be careful. careful!
Gregory was a failure declared untrainable at CBU after failing for over 7 years. he contested as MP for Kwacha constituency in 2002 and lost lamentably, he tried at Copperbelt University Students Union (COBUSU) President and he lost again. so such people with poor reasoning shouldn’t be taking the center stage on commenting on almost everything. He should consider finding a career and not just receiving handouts from MMD and his elder sister Angela Chifire. We know him,
Is this kama topic still on. Guys accept and move on. One Zambia One M F Nation.
Whether he failed or was declared dull, there’s wisdom is what he has said.
Lady gaga says the people of western province have sand in the HEAD. And yet she wants votes from western province. She also says Nkombo has failed to run a brothel in MAZABUKA.
. # 11 which MMD are u.
Not sure we should continue blogging on what Greg Chifire was saying. Its just a lesson to my fellow youths to empass hardwork in what you do and make your own money. There’s is no honour in living on handouts like this untrainable dull individual. Next topic please
chifire is a monkey tail. why should he stop the debate about barotseland if he himself is speaking against it?
