The Rhodesian Bush War was just the start of modern Zimbabwe’s tragedy. In today’s special double episode we pick up where we left off: in the middle of the bloody Rhodesian Bush War. Tens of thousands of people lost their lives in the conflict. Hundreds of thousands more lost everything they owned in the struggle. Then came independence and Robert Mugabe took control of the nation.

One year after the Bush War, high-level espionage destroyed key Zimbabwean infrastructure. Two years later, Mugabe unleashed his Korean-trained Fifth Brigade on the Ndebele people: thousands of African nationalist kung-fu masters rampaged the Ndebele homeland, massacring thousands and intimidating hundreds of thousands. It was ethnic persecution, some authors say genocide, on a massive scale. The persecution was called Gukurahundi – the rain that washes away the trash.

Then Mugabe turned his attention toward the European minority beginning in 1990. Fifteen years later less than a few thousand Europeans remained in the country, down from 250,000 twenty years before – yet another massive population shift in Rhodesia-Zimbabwe’s long history of ethnic conflict.

Finally, Mugabe’s attention turned inward: wiping out all African opposition to his rule with yet more naked intimidation, disappearances, torture, and mass propaganda. The result is Zimbabwe today, a nation filled with homeless, where more people flee the country than graduate from university. Millions of Zimbabweans have fled their homeland. Their story is rarely told. Imagine all of these refugees and mistreated people gathered into a massive city – millions of them. See the women’s haggard, wrinkled faces, the children’s begging eyes pleading for help that doesn’t come – a city of people living on the margins, without even the hope of hope, so hungry they don’t even feel it anymore.

Here is their story.

Today’s special double episode is part four of a four part series. You can find part 3: here, part 2: here, and part 1: here.
