Useful Zimbabwe Links
I realise that, since returning, my posts on this website have almost exclusively been on Zimbabwe. Apologies to those not particularly interested, but frankly I’d rather write about this than British politics, at present.
Anyhow, I’ve found some of those sites I mentioned. Coming largely from the Zimbabwean diaspora or Zimbabwe itself, they’re often different, at the least, to Western coverage.
Case in point: the Zimbabwean Pundit. Carrying the tagline, “The World as Seen From the Eyes of a Zimbabwean,” it’s written by (as far as I can tell) one of the many Zimbabweans who supported Mugabe for many years before turning against him. Make of it what you will, and have a look at the posts criticising the Western media in particular.
Moving on: Zimbabwean news-site in exile. Goes into more detail than the British broadsheets, up to a point.
Sokwanele.com is one of the largest opposition websites I could find, and among the easiest to naviagte. They have a blog, and are running their version of election results alongside the Electoral Commission’s. The contrast is enlightening…
Kubatana is a collaborative blog run by Zimbabwean activists. Again, often interesting reading.
There are more, but time is rather limited. Look on the blogrolls, they should keep you going…
Oh, and the official sites would be useful, I suppose:
