Men's Adidas Originals Tubular X Shoes Pure White Clearance , Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- Zambia's leading opposition leader on Wednesday said he has always been innocent of the treason charges he was slapped with.
Hakainde Hichilema, who was freed by a judge on Wednesday morning after the state prosecutor dropped charges against him of plotting to overthrow the government, said he remains resolute that the treason charge was a political machination meant to silence him.
Hichilema and five others were arrested in April this year and have been in custody since then as treason is not bailable in Zambia.
"We have been innocent and shall be," he said in a brief statement posted on his Facebook page.
He however said he wanted a better Zambia.
The opposition leader later told his supporters at the party's secretariat that he was committed to peace and stability of the country in order to ensure development.
He said the country was divided on political lines and called for purpose of unity from all stakeholders.
The opposition leader further said the time he spent in prison had not crushed him but made him even stronger.
"We cannot continue living the way we are, it is uncomfortable. It is our collective duty to bring back unity in our country. We are so divided
Men's Women's Adidas Pure Boost X Core Black Restock ," he added.
His release sparked wide celebrations in the Zambian capital as his convoy was driven from the Chimbokaila Prison where he was held to the party's secretariat.
Hichilema's arrest had heightened tension in the southern African nation after last year's disputed elections, with stakeholders calling for dialogue to ease the tension.
Last week, Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scott visited Zambia and met both President Edgar Lungu and the opposition leader where she facilitated a process of dialogue between the two political foes.
Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo also visited the southern African nation and held talks with Lungu and the opposition leader.
In June, church leaders from the influential Catholic Church held talks with Lungu and called for the release of the opposition leader in order to ease tension in the country. The church leaders also visited the opposition leader in prison.
Hichilema, 55

MANILA, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- A person in Manila would possibly say goodnight to a taxi driver who dropped them off in front of their home and greet the same driver in the morning
Men's Adidas NMD XR4 Suede Shoes Black White Clearance , as the immense traffic congestion here prevented the poor chauffeur from completing his own commute home.
The situation may be exaggerated, but what holds true is that those living in Manila regularly have to fall asleep to the honking of horns from drivers eager to get home and are woken up with a free morning alarm of roaring engines as cars overtake the roads, each other and the city in general.
A latest survey released last month by Waze, a GPS-based navigation smartphone app, showed that Manila
Men's Adidas NMD XR1 Primeknit "Triple Black" Core Black Outlet , on a city level, has earned the title "worst traffic on Earth," while, the Philippines clinched the ninth worst place to drive.
The terrible traffic condition here in Manila was evidenced by Philippine President Benigno Aquino III being about 40-minutes late for a military parade due to the congested roads, as he ordered his driver immediately after his inauguration to stop for red lights and declined to use lanes set aside for public buses.
However
Cheap Men's Adidas NMD XR1 Pure White Grey , as the Philippines is hosting the Asia-pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting this week, the terror of traffic congestion forced the president to set special lanes for APEC delegates and a lot of roads were closed to private cars.
At Monday's APEC CEO Summit, David Plouffe, who once led Barack Obama's presidential campaign team in 2008 and thus to some extent changed U.S. history, highlighted Uber's role in reducing car usage and ownership in the world's top economy
Women's Adidas NMD XR1 All Pink Sale , trying to further bring Uber's benefits to Manila to help relieve the monstrous congestion here.
According to Plouffe, who now serves as chief adviser and member of Uber's Board Of Directors, the transportation network company has already changed people's lifestyle in some cities in the United States as a number of people there have given up their cars.
The core Uber proposition is that "I press a button, and I get a ride from my fellow citizen," said Plouffe
Women's Adidas NMD R2 Pink White Online , adding that "the idea now was to put two or three people in a car using technology, making it efficient, making it affordable."
Now, the Philippines has become the world's first country to pass a new regulation -- Transportation Network Vehicle Service -- to help Uber's development on the islands, as well as the country itself to have its people earn more money
Cheap Men's Women's Adidas NMD R2 Black White , a major intention for Uber drivers, and reduce traffic jams here.
However, the number of cars doesn't seem to be as serious an issue as it is in Beijing or Tokyo. The level of car ownership in the Philippines is among the lowest in the world, with an estimated 47 percent of Philippine households not owning their own cars -- the fifth lowest globally -- according to a study last year by the market research firm Nielsen.
Poor performance in transportation governance and outdated infrastructure, mainly roads
Women's Adidas Originals NMD R1 Clear Onix Light Pink Online , should be blamed for the desperate traffic situation here.
