"For too long, Zimbabwe has endured violent political polarization," he told a rally of thousands in the Zimbabwean capital of Harare. "This must end today. We can no longer afford the violence of brother on brother. Let's put our differences aside. Everyone is hungry. We have to heal our nation by forgiving our brother."
