The analysis on this page is based on the cases of violence mapped here [1]. The map so far bears witness to a sample of 2168 incidents of political violence. More information on the map, and the data, can be found at this link [2]. The images above depict political violence and intimidation that has occured since the March 29th harmonised elections. The full set of pictures can be viewed in our photo gallery [3]. We recommend you download and read these reports available in our document section [4] for a more comprehensive discussion and interpretation of the political violence currently going on in Zimbabwe. |
This chart summarises, by province, the cases of political violence in our sample mapped here [1]. Provincial maps, showing all constituencies within them, can be viewed on this page [5]. |
Adding the figures for each group appearing in this chart results in a total figure that exceeds the political violence cases in our sample [1]. The chart accommodates the fact that more than one 'perpetrator group' can be involved in a single case of violence. |
Information here is based on victim's testimony. We believe that the figures for those 'displaced' is a gross underestimate: at the time of giving testimony, many will not have known they could not return to the area they have left and may not have described themselves as 'displaced'. |
