Amnesty International has documented Zimbabwean President Mugabe’s eradication of the homes of his own people, whom he calls “filth:”
Amnesty International has released images showing the destruction caused in Zimbabwe by the government’s policy of forceful house demolitions in 2005.
The satellite images show the destruction of one settlement near Harare, which had contained some 850 structures before last May.
The human rights group says the photos are irrefutable evidence how entire communities were obliterated.
The UN says some 700,000 people were directly affected by the demolitions.
