It has become such a common occurrence that, like a fire alarm that blares randomly every day, it has lost all sense of urgency. We tune it out until it becomes white noise. | This is the case for the tens of thousands of asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border who are the targets of Trump and his administration\'s dehumanizing, intentional cruelty. | The featured series of phot…

Kenneth Good | counterpunch.org | 2019-09-10
The independence elections, 27-29 March 1980, saw two main parties competing: ZANU-PF won 57 of the then 80 common roll seats, and 63% of the popular vote; and PF-ZAPU led by Joshua Nkomo gained 20 seats and 24% of the vote. It was clear that ZANU-PF controlled the ZANLA guerrillas whose \'presence was felt in over two-thirds of the country\', mostly in the Shona-speaking regions, and there was no doubt that \'peace meant a ZANU-PF victory.\' Turnout was a huge 91% of eligible voters.
