June 2008 Violence in Zimbabwe escalates as Robert Mugabe’s ZANU PF party fights growing political resistance. Using a hidden camera we follow the MDC’s resistance movement. Julius is a young man in-hiding after an attack by Mugabe loyalists left him with severe injuries. He was beaten unconscious and left to drown. Many of his attackers were neighbours, ‘I used to socialise with them’, he says. ‘Our crime was that we voted for the MDC’, Julius tells us. ‘We were beaten because they said we wasted our votes and sold our country’. A badly injured man, targeted by ZANU PF for acting as a polling officer, is being treated at a nearby hospital. He knows he is risking his life by appearing on-camera but does not turn us down; ‘I want the world to know that it is true’, he explains. ‘People are being beaten by ZANU PF, people are being killed by ZANU PF’.

The hatred in some of these comments is so very sad
Truly a horrific and heartrending demise of a once beautiful, thriving Zimbabwe. Mugabe is simply a criminal that has stayed in power by surrounding himself with even more corrupt people. My heart breaks for the unending suffering that the common Zim’s have had to live through for the last 20 + years. Shame on Mugabe ! If he were my son, I would die of shame !
There’s no denying, and I don’t mean this to be critical but, Zimbabwe/Rhodesia was actually a prosperous nation under British colonial administration. I wonder how many of the older generation of Rhodesians wish for the days when the British ran things.
@denilson200, you are a disgrace to all that is decent in humanity. As a black man from Zimbabwe, I am ashamed to think that you may be my neighbor just down the road. How did we get here so fast? How did we shirk our responsibility to our children; to raise them not to hate, to teach them that hardwork leads to self determination? I cry for my people, God please help us.
Arn’t we all human and brothers and sisters in Christ!
You can thank the English for this, fucking over Rhodesia and giving to communist fucking Mugabe, they betrayed their own people
Mugabe is scum.
As a black man, myself, if I had the power I wud make every white person in Africa SUFFER. As Mugabe says OBEY or DIE. I hate white people with EVERY FIBRE OF MY BEING. The hatred I have 4 white people comes the very PIT of my soul. BLACK POWER !! I love Malema. I love Mugabe. I love any black person who loathes white people. If they dont like it…they can FUCK OFF back to Europe. No white person is African and the sooner you BASTARDS get that through ur FUCKIN heads the better. BLACK POWER !!

You do not seem able to run the country yourselves, otherwise you would have ousted mugabe and his cronies. Unless you are one of his braindead supporters who enoy living in poverty and oppression. Forget about what happened in the past, us pinkies could wipe him and his followers out.
