Solution to the Zimbabwe Atrocities: Video

Apparently the people of Zimbabwe are all alone while they suffer horrific brutality and oppression. There is no hope that the UN or any other organization will come to their rescue. Its the same old story. The world ignores genocide in Africa. Why? No press coverage. And why no press coverage? No video or pics. The solution? The people of Zimbabwe should be armed with video cameras and camcorders. Such tactics were used with success, although for a limited time, in Burma and Tibet. It is the best solution in a world that doesn't care unless they see it on TV. It didn't happen if it isn't reported. We live in the YouTube age. The best weapon of against oppression: video:

The mutilated bodies of four young men bore witness yesterday to the latest atrocities of the Mugabe regime in the run-up to next week’s elections.

The victims were murdered while defending the home of a local leader of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), as the campaign of terror against the opposition reached a new pitch.

They represent the most deaths in a single day since Robert Mugabe lost the presidential elections ten weeks ago. Three of the men were MDC youth activists in the sprawling dormitory township of Chitungwiza about 20 miles (30km) south of Harare. The fourth was a passer-by, abducted because he did not know the secret slogans and salutes used by the ruling Zanu (PF) youth organisation to identify supporters. All four had their skulls smashed, and some had their lips and genitals cut off.
