The Crisis in Zimbabwe Has Not Passed
by Genocide Watch, 4 July 2008

Although Robert Mugabe has stolen Zimbabwe's sham one-candidate run-off  "election" and sworn himself in for another term as President, the political repression and killings in Zimbabwe continue.  At least eleven opposition Movement for Democratic Change activists have been murdered since the election, and hundreds more have been driven from their homes.  Now that Mugabe has returned from the summit of the African Union, where he got nothing more than a slap on the wrist (See "An African Failure"), the danger to Mugabe's opposition remains.  The food crisis and runaway inflation are actually getting even worse.  Genocide Watch reiterates its Politicide Watch for Zimbabwe, which authoritative sources inside Zimbabwe have affirmed as true.  The United Nations Security Council should call for a ban on visas and freezing of foreign assets of ZANU-PF leaders, impose an international arms embargo on Zimbabwe, and refer the situation in Zimbabwe to the International Criminal Court, where Mugabe and his minions should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

Politicide Warning: Zimbabwe

19 June 2008

Zimbabwe’s run-off Presidential elections on 27 June will take place in an atmosphere of terror.  ZANU-PF militias, the Zimbabwe army and police, and ZANU-PF mobs have pushed Zimbabwe to Stage 6, the Preparation stage immediately preceding political mass murder. 

Families of Zimbabwe’s opposition leaders are being targeted for brutal execution.  The mutilated body of Abigail Chitoro, wife of the Mayor-elect of Harare, was found on Tuesday. Mr. Chitoro said, “The body was butchered. They had used heavy objects to crush the head. She still had the blindfold that my kid said they put on her head when they took them away.”

In the last week there have been three reports of local MDC officials who fled their homes from marauding Zanu PF mobs and who had their homes burnt down. In each case their wives were put to death, two burnt alive, the other battered to death.  Four more MDC leaders have been abducted and murdered in the last week, bringing the number of political assassinations to over one hundred in the past two months.  Hundreds more have been beaten and tortured. 

Murder and torture victims have had their ears, lips, and sexual organs cut off.  Mutilation of bodies is one of the surest signs of the de-humanizing of targeted groups during genocide and politicide (political mass murder.)  ZANU-PF’s hate speech, torture, and murder have terrorized Zimbabwe since the Movement for Democratic Change defeated Mugabe and the ZANU-PF in March’s elections.  Now ZANU-PF has stepped up its violence to openly kill leaders of the MDC and their families.  Such acts are prelude to every politicide or genocide.

A sign of the gravity of the danger is the phenomenon of “mirroring,” a strange but common psychological mechanism of denial used by mass murderers. ZANU-PF spokesmen accuse their victims of being traitors or terrorists, when in fact ZANU-PF is the real perpetrator. 

The terror campaign is being directed by Air Marshall Perence Shiri, who was commander of the infamous North Korean trained Fifth Brigade, which carried out Mugabe’s genocide against the Matabele in 1983-84.  Working with him is General Constantine Chiwanga, Commander of the Zimbabwe Army, and Sidney Sekeramayi, Minister of Defense, both of whom were senior officers directly involved in the 1983-84 genocide.

The military has taken effective control of Zimbabwe.  With military support, gangs of ZANU-PF marauders sweep through villages at night, killing, torturing and raping MDC supporters.

  President Mugabe’s open declaration that his followers would go to war rather than accept defeat in the election is a sign of the high probability that Zimbabwe is headed for a bloodbath. His termination of relief aid to his own starving people shows his complete contempt for human life. 
  • Genocide Watch calls on Tanzania, Chair of the African Union to inform President Mugabe that if the election is followed by mass killing, African Union troops will intervene to stop it.
  • Genocide Watch calls on the United Nations Security Council to demand that Zimbabwe immediately lift restrictions on direct food aid by non-governmental and UN organizations to Zimbabwe's people, without regard to their political affiliation. 
  • Genocide Watch also calls on the United Nations Security Council to refer the situation in Zimbabwe to the International Criminal Court, so that those perpetrating the crimes against humanity there, including Mugabe himself, will be brought to justice.

Facing Mass Murder in Zimbabwe
By Kevin Engle and Gregory Stanton, 12 August 2005

"We would be better off with only six million people, with our own people who support the liberation struggle.  We don't want all these extra people."

Didymus Mutasa – Zimbabwe’s Minister of State for National Security, Lands, Lands Reform, and Resettlement – August 2002

Operation Murambatsvina has been, “…a long cherished desire.”

Robert Mugabe – Executive President of Zimbabwe – June 2005

Like a snared animal, tearing at itself in desperation, Robert Mugabe and his ZANU-PF party, trapped by their own failed policies, and in a frantic attempt to hold onto power, are tearing into Zimbabwe’s own citizens.  At first cloaking his ruin of Zimbabwe’s economy as land reform, Mugabe has now turned on his urban poor, bulldozing hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses.

According to the United Nations Report on the Fact-Finding Mission to Zimbabwe to Assess the Scope and Impact of Operation Murambatsvina, there are “three main categories of victims – those who have lost their homes, those who lost their livelihoods, and those who lost both.”

There is little doubt that this list will soon contain a fourth main category – those who have lost their lives. (Read more.)
