Robert Mugabe’s thugs shout: ‘Let’s kill the baby’11-month-old Blessing MabhenaChristina Lamb
A baby boy had both legs broken by supporters of President Robert Mugabe to punish his father for being an opposition councillor in Zimbabwe.

Blessing Mabhena, aged 11 months, was seized from a bed and flung down with force as his mother, Agnes, hid from the thugs, convinced that they were about to murder her.
She heard one of them say, “Let’s kill the baby”, before Blessing was hurled on to a bare concrete floor.

Blessing, who may never be able to walk properly, was one of the youngest victims of atrocities against the opposition party Movement for Democratic Change in the run-up to last Friday’s sham presidential election.

As Mugabe, 84, the only candidate in the election, prepared to be sworn in as president today, it emerged that his forces of terror plan to pulverise opponents to prevent them from ever threatening his leading Zanu-PF again.

Leaked minutes of the Joint Operations Command (JOC), which has orchestrated the violence since Mugabe lost a first round of voting in March, revealed that it is willing to wipe out opposition supporters.

A 10,000-strong youth militia loyal to the Zanu-PF has been created to enforce its wishes in case regular army units refuse, according to Zimbabwean human rights agencies.

“It’s a deliberate nationwide strategy to reoccupy space so all space is occupied by the Zanu of Mugabe,” said Jon Stewart, a director of the Zimbabwe Human Rights Forum.

Minutes of one JOC meeting show that supporters of Morgan Tsvangirai, the opposition leader, “will all be internally displaced. The target number is two million supporters”.

The plan is to brutalise people into backing Zanu-PF or fleeing the country. “They’re not going to stop,” said a maid in Marondera. “They’re saying they’ll do more beatings and killings until all the ‘traitors’ are flushed out.”

She and her neighbours were waiting for officials to check their fingers for red ink to make sure they had voted on Friday.

Dave, that's a far stretch.

GARBAGE.

I have not seen any such comment on the previous topic linking Jagdeo to genocide. Oh! Shucks!! Sarry! we are not supposed to talk about atrocities committed against Indian men women and children.

No, you are not supposed to. You are supposed to speak up for the perpetuators afterall, they have been forced to commit these acts, forced by the victims themselves. You are supposed to make the big fuss to ensure they are granted full and rights as prisoners and be treated humanely and with every dignity they deserve. You are to feed clothes and house them. The Indian victims are just a footnote, as a reference to the "injustice" that caused the crime itself. This was the philosophy going back to the 60's, alive and well today.

If criminals attack and kill Indians, they are criminals who need to be caught and face justice.

If the authorities have spent over a decade not coming uo with a new strategy for fighting and finding these killers, or has resorted to contracting out justice in the form of fengeance to a drug baron and paid bounty killers, then the authorities have stooped to the level of the criminal they should be going after in a legal manner.

In the last nine years, scores of Guyanese - Indians and blacks - have died. And not once in this time period has there been a Presidential Enquiry. Not once has there been a Parliamentary Enquiry.

How can you guys not see something wrong with this picture? Is it satisfactory to you to simply criticisze the criminals or the PNC? Then what about the relatives of those who lost loved ones? Don't the deserve justice and closure? Then why hasnt the government moved beyond talking about finding the criminals to more serious stuff with its police force to do the job?

The government you guys are defending is part of the problem. And you guys have so far gone down the road of blindness, you follow the government by believing its version that people are critical of the party and government, then people hate Indians.

Then Indians are in a lot of trouble with no help on the horizon, cause none of us (including the government) seem to have the solutions/answers.

More Garbage. Do you understand the difference between ordinary crime and GENOCIDE? Please do not deflate the meaning and the seriousness of the act of GENOCIDE.

Yes, and how is the PPP guilty of genocide?

You’ve certainly done your research on the philosophy of the PNC Black Power.
Killing Indian babies in their sleep is an ordinary crime…. Arresting those black PNC goons that killed those babies is genocide.
To change such a philosophy is to deflate the meaning of the supreme PNC black power in Guyana.

Actually Dave, I see your point, now I have to agree with you, to an extent.

Is violence with such brutality genetic?

Combination of genetics and morals/cultural, and heat of the moment anger, all somewhat intertwined with varying proportions of influences.
