Zimbabwe: Jailed Journalist ‘Gravely Ill’ After Prison Guards Starved Him
Persecution of political dissidents was commonplace under the late dictator Robert Mugabe and his successor Emmerson Mnangagwa has made no attempts to improve his dire human rights record. Following Mugabe’s departure in late 2017, Mnangagwa

According to the Daily Maverik, the demonstrations were thwarted by an alleged alliance between the ruling party Zanu-PF and the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), who deployed security forces to major city streets to prevent Zimbabweans from protesting.
And that's just the Aug headlines...and why I'm not interested in hunting Zimbabwe!
