Free Zimbabwe!
It was good to join Zimbabwean friends and Bristol Lib Dem MP Stephen Williams at the free Zimbabwe Demo in Bristol on Saturday the 26th of April. Good news also came on Monday the 28th with the news that the opposition is to re-unite to take on Mugabe and Zanu PF in the Zimbabwean Parliament. How long will it be before the old man goes?
The people of Zimbabwe have been incredibly tolerant, now things really need to change and change soon. The international NGO Human Rights Watch have reported a horrific situation with roving bands of Mugabe's thugs beating people and government camps being used to torture suspected opposition members.

I lived in Zimbabwe from 1996 to 2001 while working as an advisor with the British Government’s Aid programme. I was advising a rural district council in the South East of the Country at a place called Bikita, on the implementation of a water, sanitation and health education programme. Zimbabwe is a beautiful country and was revered as the ‘bread basket’ of Africa. The UK government will need to step in with much support to get this land back on its feet as soon as the legitimate government is allowed to take power back to the people!
La luta continua!
