Levels of organised violence and torture have escalated dramatically in the last fortnight in Zimbabwe amid mounting tensions over the country's disputed elections, a coalition of doctors said on Friday. Since the last report on 25 April, our members have reported a dramatic escalation in incidents of organised violence and torture with the number of victims documented in the post election period now standing over 900," the Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights said in a statement.This figure grossly underestimates the number of victims countrywide as the violence is now on such a scale that it is impossible to properly document all cases."

Our country's leaders need to intervene in Africa in general. There are so many devastating situations in several African Nations where people are dying, being tortured, raped, forced to relocate, and all sorts of violence being perpetrated. The Nations of the World need to rally to the aid of these people who are real victims.
Our country needs to get its priorities straight. We need to stop spending trillions of dollars to protect American Oil interests billions in profits. This money could have been channeled into other endeavors that would have brought about real change in terms of Poverty, Hunger, and Water. The lack of resources or the greedy misappropriation of resources are generally the cause of these conflicts along with tribal territorial and political ambitions and traditions.
