    “…For sheer denial of the entire combination of civil, political, economic and social rights in a country not at war, it would be hard to surpass what is currently taking place in Zimbabwe. There, the glory of liberation from white minority rule has been replaced by the tragedy of life under a crumbling but still vicious dictatorship; the joy of feeding most of Southern Africa has been replaced by the sorrow of watching children wallow and die in filth as they search for tidbits; and the smiles of a once proud people have been replaced by the death-masks of cholera-stricken faces. Zimbabwe calls out for delivery from Mugabe’s hell. If the International community still has ears, if UN Human Rights Day is to mean anything to the Zimbabwean people, then voices must be raised and hands lifted to assist our brothers and sisters in that parody of a democratic state.”

    I can barely watch this. It is just so sad to see people in these awful conditions. But it is also so necessary for the world to see these videos, and I’m very thankful to the people who make them and manage to get them onto the internet. We can only hope that international aid will reach in time to save most of the suffering.
