Dozens of teenage girls have been made pregnant after being taken into the bush and raped in torture camps by President Robert Mugabe’s youth militia operating near Mudzi, a town 100 miles northeast of Harare, human rights workers allege.
Amid the continuing chaos, there are as yet no clear statistics, but the sharp rise in teenage pregnancies seems almost certain to have been repeated elsewhere in rural districts. Some of the victims will have contracted HIV-Aids, which has ravaged Zimbabwe for years and helped reduce average life expectancy to 34 for women, the lowest in the world. ...
There are an unprecedented 16 teenage pregnancies registered at one local hospital alone. Residents report that the local Zanu-PF militia boasts that it wants to make Mudzi an “MDC-free zone”. The torture camps, they claim, are still manned, with no sign that they are about to be dismantled.
In Harare, the new parliament is expected to be sworn in on Tuesday amid reports that the Mugabe regime plans to kill or arrest MPs from the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) to overturn the opposition’s narrow majority. ...
Although the MDC has always eschewed violence, there have been cases where young MDC supporters have felt emboldened to hit back at the Zanu-PF militia, who are responsible for most of the violence in townships and the countryside. In one case, in Masvingo province, armed troops had to be brought in to quell them.
When he came to power in 1980, Mugabe ordered all weapons to be handed over to the government. Until the past few years, Zimbabwe was so stable it was almost impossible to buy an AK-47 assault rifle.
However, last week the rifles could be found for £100, a warning that Zimbabwe could be taking the first steps towards an armed conflict.

Thanks you communist bastard. And thank you Jimmy Carter, there is blood dripping from your hands.
Jimmah is not concerned, his motives were pure.
Obviously, Europe and Africa isn't going to lift a finger to help, but I'm sure that we can expect foreign celebrities bemoaning the problem as if it's somehow our fault.
How hard would it be to pop Mugabe behind the ear with a sterile, silenced 9mm pistol, zap his plane with a MANPAD, or just ambush his car on a lonely country road and shred everyone in the motorcade like Swiss cheese?
The last thing we need to do is train up some anti-Mugabe rebels who'll just backstab us in a few years when the situation there settles down. This isn't the 70s-80s anymore.
Just blow Mugabe's black Hitler ass up and let nature take it's course.
Robert Mugabe, Jimmah Carter’s pal.
Another demonstration of what happens when America essentially picks a name from the phone book and says “ok fool, YOU be PRESIDENT!”
Not hard, but I'm afraid it wouldn't go far towards fixing Zim. There is a huge emboldened class of paramilitary criminal thugs accustomed to having their way under cover of government authority. They will still be there after he's gone. Without an organized counterforce dedicated to law and order to counteract them, they will continue their lawless preying on the populace for as long as they can.
This isn’t news. The left rails against Mugabe all the time.
Oh, wait!
Yep, Mugabe and company are using the "r" (racist) word against the G8, because they won't let him in at the G8 meeting. Maybe if the G8 had some young girls nearby, Mugabe and company would show up, anyway.
