In the case of Zimbabwe we now have genocide but a much more clever and evil version. Robert Mugabe is using the distribution of food and medical supplies to intimidate, harm and kill in a deliberate genocide against those who do not sell their souls to ZANU-PF. Aid is usually only accepted if the government controls its distribution and aid agencies get told where and how they are allowed to help. Mugabe is using access to food and medicine to kill those he considers ‘traitors’ – which in his regime is anyone who does not whole-heartedly support him. He is systematically destroying a group of people – they are Zimbabweans and they are dying by genocide.
