BINDURA - More than 350 members of Restoration of Human Rights (ROHR) took to the street on December 1 to campaign for democracy and justice and call for a quick resolution to the political impasse and the creation of a transitional government.There is a dramatically worsening humanitarian crisis caused by a total
breakdown of the socio-economic fabric of the country. The evidence of
this can be seen by over 800 deaths caused by Cholera, the closure of
public hospitals, widespread hunger and poverty and the increase of the
population that relies on food aid. According to United Nations
statistics 4.9 million people are in need of food aid and they project
an increase to 5.1 million in January 2009.
The protesters marched from the CBD of Bindura along the main street,
finishing at Chipadze bus terminus, where police forced people to
disperse.Â
ROHR Zimbabwe calls upon all Zimbabweans and other civic organisations
to join in protests to register anger for the unresolved political,
socio-economic multi-layered crises in Zimbabwe. No words can describe
the high level of poverty and hunger that has cuffed the citizenry.
There is a political vacuum created by the all-inclusive Government of
National Unity comprising Zanu (PF) and the two MDC formations.
