Land, retribution and elections
There have already been several reports in the local and international media highlighting the surge in farm invasions since the 29 March election. However, what these reports do not make clear is the large scale of these invasions.

The Government offer letter to new farmers explicitly states that the offer can be withdrawn at any time. This state of uncertainty binds the new farmer into an uncompromising fealty to the government, as he or she has no legal recourse should the offer be withdrawn. Read more from JAG

There have been 22 confirmed deaths but at least double that number have been reported but are yet to be confirmed. Read more from Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights

Post-election violence

All ideologies end up killing people. If you separate love from nonviolence you turn nonviolence into an ideology, a gimmick.
Structures that are not inhabited by justice and love have no liberating or reconciling force, and are never sources of life.
