ZANU-PF: Difference between revisions

Line 35:

They were also responsible for the ''[[Gukurahundi]]'', a series of ethnic massacres and [[pogrom]]s carried out against Zimbabwe's Ndebele population from 1983 to 1987 as a way of silencing dissidents. Those who weren't killed were imprisoned in [[concentration camp]]s. The massacres have been classified as a [[genocide]] by the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS), who have estimated that more than 20,000 people were killed.

Many blame ZANU–PF for neglecting to deal with Zimbabwe's problem with the mounting 2008 Zimbabwean cholera outbreak, which by the start of December 2008 had already killed between 500 and 3,000 people.

Despite Robert Mugabe's removal from power, the conditions in Zimbabwe under the ZANU-PF government have changed very little. Millions are again on the brink of starvation. The economy is once again in free fall: inflation is running at 175 percent; fuel prices have increased almost 500 percent since the beginning of the year, resulting in protests on January 2020; there are widespread shortages of electricity and water; and the national cell phone company is about to collapse. The army has been sent in to deal with those who protest, leaving more than a dozen dead.
