| 10,000 homeless arrested in Zimbabwe |
| 2006-05-16 |
| POLICE in the Zimbabwean capital, Harare, yesterday said they had rounded up more than 10,000 homeless people and squatters in a new clean-up operation designed to rid the city of "disorderly elements". Dubbed Operation Round-Up, it comes exactly a year after the authorities embarked on a controversial campaign of demolishing shacks, which reduced whole residential areas to piles of rubble and forced thousands of people to seek refuge in churches and with friends. According to the police, homeless people and street children are behind much of the crime in Harare. |
