Global Action for Zimbabwe

Target: UN Security Council and African leaders
Sponsored by: Care2
As violence escalates due to President Mugabe's ruthless efforts to stay in power and crush the opposition, hope fades for free and fair elections. The people of Zimbabwe are suffering from intimidation, torture and other horrific abuses such as rape and food deprivation.

This wave of political violence has taken a devastating human toll since the March 29th election, with over 200,000 people internally displaced, 86 opposition supporters killed, 10,000 people injured, and 500 women and girls sexually abused or raped.

Zimbabwe's recent ban on international aid groups in the country has left up to half a million Zimbabwean children without health care and food. The Mugabe regime is distributing food mostly to its supporters and if the situation continues, it could lead to massive starvation.

Sign now to condemn the acts of violence occurring in Zimbabwe: urge the UN Security Council and Zimbabwe's neighbors to do everything in their power to help put an end to the horrific bloodshed and to restore peace and the rule of law.

To the United Nations Security Council and the Southern African Development Community:

We cannot remain silent while the political violence gripping Zimbabwe continues to claim thousands of innocent victims. We urge you to do everything in your power to help put an end to the horrific bloodshed and to restore peace and the rule of law.

The wave of political violence has taken a high human toll with over 200,000 people internally displaced, over 86 opposition supporters killed, 10,000 people injured and maimed, and about 500 women and girls sexually abused an raped.

Zimbabwe's recent ban on international aid groups and NGOS in the country has left up to half a million Zimbabwean children without health care and food. The Mugabe regime is distributing food mostly to its supporters and if the situation continues, it could lead to massive starvation.

We urge you to keep the pressure on the Zimbabwean government to hold free and fair elections and to immediately open the doors for international groups and non-profits providing aid.

This man-made disaster will not stop unless the international community gets involved. The people of Zimbabwe need your help right now. Please do not wait any longer to help put an end to Mugabe's violent crackdown.

Last week, my daughter received a text message from a friend, a Zimbabwean woman, crying for help as her supply of food for her children is nearly exhausted. In what was previously the "bread-basket of Africa, this is exceptionally tragic. PLEASE use the power and influence you have to prevent the impending starvation imminent at the hands of Mugabe.

Mugabe needs to be held accountable for WAR CRIMES. Farmers, (who grew food to feed the nation), were beaten so badly, that some had kidney failure. Many cattle had their back leg tendons sliced open and left to bleed to death. Some farmers had their pet dogs stoned to death. The farm workers were killed, mutilated and raped. ANY excuse for rebels to kill and maim, they grabbed We are not talking about politics, we are talking of bizarre methods of killing. Blood is what Mugabe and his followers want, It is NOT about land, once they get given land, they do nothing, the cattle are killed and eaten (those that are not crippled with disease). Mugabe now says he will "talk" to America, now that they have a black President. Sorry I see President elect, as a President, nothing more and nothing less. Colour is NOT the issue, being a good President IS the issue. Let us pray the safety of Zimbabwe people daily.

I have a friend from Zimbabwe--a beautiful and intelligent lady who has been extremely concerned for the safety of her young daughter and parents, who are in Zimbabwe. My friend left her very abusive husband and has been living in Europe, in order to get an education. She has been eager, for several years, to earn enough money to support herself and bring her daughter to Europe. I pray for her daughter and the rest of the innocent ones in Zimbabwe. It is urgent that the violence be ended ASAP.

It seems as though to me that there needs to be a formal hearing between the Government of Zimbabwe, It's People (and latter, if necessary - the International Community) with an effort to collectively move towards a process that benefits the Community of Zimbabwe as a whole, in which benefit is accepted and approved of by the People of Zimbabwe. The People's Voices should be fairly recognized also by a fair vote/elections .. One might ask 'Well, Who should count the vote ?' .. The Government of Zimbabwe, The People (an adequate amount of Citizens of Zimbabwe to count through 33% of the votes) and The International Community should count the votes with each of their responsibility handling 33 and 1/3% of the votes to be tallied ... The votes should be COUNTED ONE BY ONE .. Each vote should be recorded with paper trail .. The People should have FAIR VOTE without any personal scrutiny of their individualized vote ... LET FREEDOM RING for the People of Zimbabwe
