    Mugabe Declares Civil War On Babies To Sway Run-Off Election

    "Babies seized by Robert Mugabe's forces as Zimbabwe hounds voters" from Times of London reports that Zimbabwe's human excrement of a leader Robert Mugabe has sunk to a new low as he has sought to intimidate opposition supporters by seizing children, buring houses, etc..

    Twenty-four babies and 40 children under the age of six were among the 250 people rounded up in a raid on Friday, according to Nelson Chamisa, spokesman for the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). Yesterday they were crammed into cells in Southerton police station in central Harare.

    “This is ruthlessness of the worst kind. How can you incarcerate children whose mothers have fled their homes hoping to give their children refuge?” asked an emotional Chamisa yesterday. “In Mugabe’s Zimbabwe even children are not spared the terror that befalls their parents.”

    The families were rounded up from MDC headquarters, where they had sought refuge from violence in the countryside.
