Hundreds of villagers from Nyakomba in Nyanga North are fleeing violence
orchestrated by ZANU PF, and on Wednesday crossed the border into
Mozambique.
The MDC spokesman for Manicaland province, Pishai Muchauraya, said those
that crossed the flooded Gairezi river, which forms the border between
Zimbabwe and Mozambique, are now living with local communities on the
Mozambican side of the frontier.

Torture continues
"Whenever I gave an answer that was not satisfactory, I was told to lie on
my stomach and I was given lashes,” Gwisai said. “ (It was)indescribable
pain. It is sadistic.”
He said his torturers tried to beat him into admitting that he had said
“Abasha Mugabe”, which is Portuguese for “down with Mugabe” and that he must
go.
Gwisai alleged that he was lashed 15 times and was finding it difficult to
sit and walk.
He told the court that even though Mugabe was an elected president, people
could still revolt against him.
“This is the reason why people went to war and died to ensure that people
govern.”
Among the people arrested on Saturday were HIV and Aids activists, some of
who are living positively with the disease

Activists Charged with High Treason
My thoughts and prays go out to the activists who were charged with High Treason.
Thanks for taking the step that millions of Zimbabweans need to take but are too afraid.
We will do what ever we can to see to it that these charges are dropped and that you are free.
Stay strong.

Bob turns 87
Born in 1924, Zimbabwe’s once celebrated leader who turned tyrant by his own choice is now 87.
This year unlike others he will not get a birthday card from me. I will not waste my money on him after all he never gets the message which is "Get out of office. We do not want you"
Mugabe continues his killings, his rape, and his theft of Zimbabwe’s riches and continues with policies that are inhumane.
The Hague is where he needs to spend the rest of his life together with his cronies.

Mugabe & Mubarak must be twins
Listening to Mubaraks speach today was more than a slap in the face to the people of Egypt and to Africa as a whole.
He so much reminded me of Robert Mugabe. Both in their eights, both have well overstayed their welcome,both only care of them themselves. Have both ripped apart a great nation for self interest and both have innocent blood on their hands.
What a shame, oh what a shame.

Violence on the rise
As expected following Mugabe’s call for elections in 2011, the violence
perpetrated by hired Zanu (PF) hoodlums has escalated in the past three
weeks. This is not at all a result of political protest by Mugabe’s personal
party. Rather, this is well-orchestrated destabilization of the GNU by hired
hands that are paid a pittance of$5 per day for their trouble.
The Zanu (PF) officials who are actively denying that they are the ones
organizing these brainless hoodlums will not be able to fool us. We are
aware that Mugabe and his supporters would like the GNU to fold up on or
about February 15 and that the elections be held three months later. That
way the police, the army, the militia and the CIO will be able to violently
force the people of this country to vote for Mugabe and Zanu (PF).

Forced to pay for Bobs birthday party
People are been forced to contibute $10 for Mugabes birthday party and those who donot are told they will face unspecified action.
Mugabe taking terror to schools
ZANU PF youths have taken their terror further by
informing headmasters in Harare that they must leave at least two days a
week for lessons about the liberation struggle, "We have been asked to teach for three days and the other two days we must teach children about Zanu PF and the liberation war," a headmaster said.

ZRP - No Egypt demonstrations in Zimbabwe
Confidential documents leaked to the press by human rights groups allege
that ZANU-PF militants currently wreaking havoc around the country were
trained at the Inkomo Army Barracks west of the capital beginning last
Novembe
A senior official of the Zimbabwe Republic Police has threatened to crush
any Egyptian-style protests by the Movement for Democratic Change formation
led by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, further stressing the power-sharing
government.
Senior Assistant Commissioner Clement Munoriyarwa, in charge of the province
of Harare, told the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation that Egyptian-style
mass protests would not be tolerated.
"This is wishful thinking," he said. "The situation in Egypt will never be
tolerated anywhere in Zimbabwe..We want to assure the nation that we are
fully prepared for such violent activities and our officers are already on
the ground to ensure peace and tranquility prevails in the country."

The beatings still continue
Five MDC activists were badly injured after they were assaulted by Zanu PF thugs in Mbare at Carter house this afternoon. The five: Patrick Mufuka (34), Charles Magurira (38), Edson Muneka (31), Godfrey Mutowo (38) and Francis Kadigo had to seek medical attention at a Harare hospital. According to the five, Zanu PF youths, abusing young boys of between 14 and 17 years, moved around the Mbare fresh fruit produce market uprooting known MDC activist and leading them to Carter House were they were assaulted.
Meanwhile, most market stalls went up in flames at the popular fresh fruit produce market in Mbare following a violent attack by the Zanu PF youth.
Zanu PF has been bussing in youth from surrounding provinces into Harare where they have launched an operation ngatizivane. They have mostly targeted Mbare, Chitungwiza and Budiriro. The MDC has condemned these actions as barbaric and unproductive to an ailing nation which sought real change.
