The word you are looking for is Pogrom.

po·grom n.

An organized, often officially encouraged massacre or persecution of a minority group, especially one conducted against Jews.

Though they're not Jewish, the word still fits.

These people need military heavy weapons and effective leadership if they are to stand a chance.

"massacre or persecution of a minority group"

I don't know if the poor qualify as a minority group in Zimbabwe. Maybe the poor self-employed qualify.

It's awful.
