Violence seems to be
escalating in Zimbabwe. As readers of this blog know, I care deeply about that country and its people and have
worked on human rights challenges there in recent years. My concern for a while has been that Robert Mugabe will use all the tools of State power to ensure that he remains at the helm of his country. When you consider the war crimes his forces committed in
Matabeleland in the 1980’s, the
international community needs to put Mugabe and the generals on notice that they will face
individual judicial consequences for
their actions this time.
