BBC NEWS | Africa | Africa urged to act over Zimbabwe:
I heard a report from the BBC as I drove home late this evening. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
The government in Zimbabwe has sent police to the poorest parts of cities to tear down the houses and displace all the people in these shanty-towns. A number of people have been killed including one on Sunday when police wouldn’t give the parents time to retreive the girl before the house was brought down. At least 200,000+ have been displaced.
I don’t listen much to main stream radio or tv news anymore, but I do take the local newspaper and this was the first time I had heard this story.
Am I just missing the reports, or is this story not getting much attention?
