In December 2000 Robert Mugabe opened a Zanu PF congress by urging his supporters to, ‘strike fear in the heart of the white man.’

Eight years down the line that policy is being employed to cover all opposition supporters and officials. The 84-year-old Zanu PF leader, smarting from an embarrassing March 29 election defeat, is allegedly paying ruling party thugs Z$10 billion for every murder of an MDC activist.

The militants are also being paid Z$5 billion for every opposition home burnt down. According to The Zimbabwean newspaper a defector from the terror campaign has confirmed that ‘Operation Mavhotera Papi’ was mounted with the specific approval from Mugabe.

the violence in rural areas is increasing. Sources have told Newsreel that the Gokwe area has been turned into a war zone, with ruling party militants on the rampage and the area virtually shut down.

Across most of the country opposition supporters are being beaten while their homes are torched. Many businesses have had to shut down to minimise their risks from the violence.

The situation is so serious the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) on Friday said it was providing emergency assistance to more than 1500 displaced people. The agency says it is providing blankets, soap, buckets and tablets for purifying water.

It’s time we give Robert Mugabe a JDAM, special delivery. Actually, it’s way, way past time.

“paying ruling party thugs Z$10 billion for every murder”

Z$10 billion = US$2.49

“Z$10 billion = US$2.49”

With an exchange rate like that, we at FR could easily take up a collection and put a Z$10 trillion bounty on his head.

We should send the farmers sniper rifles.

It's a real shame they never figured out how to cook their fertilizer into IEDs.
