Zimbabwe army using rape as campaign tool

The Zim army is using rape as a campaign tool in many areas. Many women suspected of being married or related to opposition members are invariably raped.

Now consider that 57% of the army personnel are HIV positive. Also consider that when they rape a woman, they gang rape, usually more than five men at a time, and usually publicly so all can see and be afraid. Nobody will ever be arrested for this because anything political is not a crime in Zimbabwe while ZANU PF is in power.

If a soldier sees a good looking woman in the local area, All he has to do is accuse her of being opposition in order to rape her.

Now shut your eyes and imagine HIV dynamics in Zimbabwe. Nobody cares, Nobody will ever care, nobody has cared in the past.
