"Police in the Zimbabwean capital Harare have broken up a protest march by doctors and nurses angered at the worsening cholera outbreak. Witnesses say officers used batons to disperse and beat up the crowd of health workers.

The authorities also prevented trade union members staging a protest over the country's banking meltdown.

The cholera outbreak has killed at least 565 people since August and more than 12,545 cases of cholera have been recorded over the same period, according to the latest statement from the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that the Limpopo River, on Zimbabwe's border with South Africa, has been contaminated with cholera. South African local health department spokesman Phuti Seloba has warned people not to use the river water at all."

Mugabe is a classic dictator who tries to hold onto power to the very end using police/military power. How long can he hold on and will he get out alive? I wonder what the attitude of the Zimbabwean people will towards the rest of the world and its largely ineffectual efforts to help them.

3. This is beyond the pale.

Mugabe should be ousted and tried for crimes against Zimbabwe. Instead many African regimes have coddled this dictator(South Africa in particular). When will someone act against this lunatic. How much do the people of Zimbabwe have to suffer before something is done about this.
