Home Affairs minister Cain Mathema said at the weekend that government is ware of plans by the MDC to turn the demonstrations using foreigners who are posing as tourists. He also claimed that some foreigners that were involved in the Arab Spring and demonstrations in Sudan are also present in the country to assist the MDC.
