Worrying developments in Zimbabwe
There have been some terrifying signs that the violence in Zimbabwe is intensifying over the last 24 hours. with tactical assaults on the few remaining commercial farms increasing in preparation for an election "run off" between Morgan Tsvangirai and Robert Mugabe. We understand that Wayne Munroe, a farmer in a part of Matebeleland North called Nyamandlovu, "the place of the meat of the elephant", has been under siege since early yesterday [30th April], his property encircled by a tactical assault group of 100 Zanu PF militia. People working for Munroe, according to one informed source, have been "savagely beaten, horribly brutalised" in the course of the quasi military operation.
