ZIMBABWE CRACKDOWN: Opposition woman MP on treason charge as Zimbabwe hits Mugabe replay button By Peta Thornycroft

In her other life, Joana Mamombe, 25, is a microbiologist with a Master’s degree from a Norwegian university. Now the opposition MDC Alliance MP is imprisoned in Harare.

All and sundry, including opposition supporters, army, police and anyone who could, looted like hell, hurled rocks and stones and set a few targets on fire. The state says more then 70 policemen were injured but provided scant details. To round off the statistics, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s security minister, Owen Ncube, claimed the state arrested about 1,000 people in connection with the stayaway.

There are no indications that Mamombe was anywhere near the townships where the worst looting and violence took place. Mnangagwa doesn’t specify which hostile force it is, but everyone knows he is talking about the United States.

R3.3bn urgently needed for food aid in Zimbabwe - UNThe UN and Zimbabwean authorities launched an urgent appeal for $234m for more than five million people in urgent need of food due to a drought and a weak economy. Broke countries cannot be giving other broke countries money. 🤦🏽‍♂️ But they have land. Can't they produce sufficient food ? Why not ? I would send food but not money because I don't believe the current administration will distribute that money correctly ie. will the people actually get it?
