Mugabe-style COIN: Gukurahundi

[davidbfpo]

This is the name of a new documentary, made in Zimbabwe; id'd in a BZS newletter. It is 73 min long and I have just started to watch. Earlier on there is a 5th Brigade member talking.

There are a number of new facts presented, leaving aside the brutality involved. At the start of the troubles the ZANU government, led by Prime Minister Mugabe, announced large weapons cache had been found on a farm linked to ZAPU; interviewees state these for the ANC's military wing to enable their campaign in South Africa. Mugabe due to politics could not admit the caches and the ANC's presence, so they were used to demonise ZAPU.

A number of the interviews are not in English and the sub-titles appear to be shorter than what they say.
