Zimbabwe civilians ‘traumatised’ by unjustified attacks
A year ago Zimbabwe was supposedly turning a page with the fall of Robert Mugabe.
But in recent days our screens have been filled with pictures taking us right back to the darkest days of the Mugabe era.
New president Emmerson Mnangagwa says claims that security forces tortured and killed protesters will be investigated.
Fresh reports of civilians being beaten by men in black ski masks have led to fears that any promise of a new democracy, is nothing but a false dawn.
Sky’s Africa correspondent John Sparks reports from the opposition stronghold of Bulawayo, which is the country’s second largest city.

📰 *VE43*: *Human Rights Doctors Flee👀 As Soldiers Descend On ‘**#ShutDownZim**’ 🚷Victims*
National Transitional Justice Working Group (NTJWG) reports that rights doctors were forced to abandon ShutDownZim victims and run for life after soldiers allegedly entered a private health facility and assaulted patients.
The soldiers reportedly assaulted the patients accusing them of taking part in the protests which rocked the country in January.
The (NTJWG) report reads:
"Human rights doctors who have been treating the wounded are now in hiding as the state is hunting them down for treating victims of military and police brutality which has resulted in several deaths and injuries to civilians. Victims are not safe when receiving medical care.
"…On 21 January 2019, the soldiers stormed a private medical facility where 28 victims of military brutality were receiving treatment and further assaulted and arrested them.
"The situation warrants immediate intervention by the international community to ensure that perpetrators are held accountable."
The crackdown on protests has resulted in the death of over 12 people. Hundreds more have been wounded while more than 1 000 have been arrested.
Zimbabwe: Systematic torture, killings, abductions, assaults. Speak up for Zimbabwe!

Nobody cares anymore. I think most Europeans are sick of Africa now. It’s sad but we all grew up fundraising for them and speaking out against the hardships they face, only to have them come live in our countries and have so many of them hate us and call us racist all the time. Tell us we can’t fly our own flag, etc.
Their hatred for whites led to their self destruction.
Now tell me, looking at the last 40 years from Rhodesia to Zimbabwe. Which time was the best
Thumbnail looks like swelled pussy.
And Zimbabwe was the bread basket of the world…..should have kept the white man there.
What the hell is wrong with people…
They wanted their socialist paradise and they got it…
Meanwhile…over in France. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP452be9tRU
Breaking curfew
Utopia is just their dream . when rain clouds clouds gather gives mi hope
Stop all aid let all die ,countries like these will never ever do good always dictatorship .
look, now they expect us to feel sorry for them
Why do Zimbabweans vote for someone like Mnangagwa to be their president,they did a big mistake.
How is this? I thought Zimbabwe was a highly farmed country?? Ohhh ..
I forgot that was years ago .
another communist paradise.
People let’s fight the tyranny we need guns this muderous dictators misuse the guns that’s why then take us at ransom .
Oh dear what a shame never mind , they never had this under white rule .
The EDOMITES and the HAMITES have teamed together along with Moab and others to ANNHILATE all the 13 TRIBES OF MTHWAKAZI.
Europe and Canada will take them.
That’s what happens when people with no brains run a country. !!!!!.it’s the people own fault. !!!!.
animals just let them kill each other
Am in tears…
What does the World Expect???? Many whites have been killed or have left over the years, so there is nobody with the knowledge to create business , manage or produce food for the country. 40 years of oppression and corruption by Baboons has left the country in total ruins……..These people have only themselves to blame FACT….
Really sad!
Uniform
Zimbabwe worked just fine until socialism/communism got in and now look at the place.
No country run by blacks will ever succeed.
I’m traumatized by all the Muslim Pedos/Rapists in the UK
They think power last forever we are going to do the same to them ….inguva chete tichavauraya vese… n very slowly
Painful😓
The issue here is obviously gun control, if those people had guns in there possession and controlled them (meaning they could hit the intended target) we would quit hearing about these sorts of atrocities.
Nothing like democracy in Mnangagwa’s stolen administration
yup we should help them they are not enough intelligent to help them selfs send aid from eü
All people saying Rhodesia was better are white. I wonder if that’s just a coincidence.
Blacks can not govern themselves without the European man they revert back to being savages.
Who do they blame now?
That is what hatred of the white man leads too. No such thing when it was Rhodesia
I talked to someone a couple years ago whose wife was from Zimbabwe. I didn’t know anything about the country except it’s in Africa. He was telling me I would be killed there with no hesitation.
