| Abstract |
People who live in Matabeleland and parts of the Midlands know only too well what happened to them during the 1980s. During the so-called Gukurahundi (i.e. "the early rain which washes away the chaff before the spring rains"), their lives were affected in serious ways by both Government troops and also by dissidents and Youth Brigades at this time.
However, most people from other parts of Zimbabwe still have no idea what it was like for those who were suffering. They have no idea how people still suffer as a result of the violence that took place.
This report is a short version of a much longer book, the original of which was published and released for sale in Zimbabwe in 1997.
