However, sometimes things must be said, not because they will change anything, but because they must be said. I have been representing Zimbabweans seeking asylum in the United States since 2000. Things have gotten progressivley worse over this time. Most notably, I am now seeing people who were in and escaped or bribed their way out of the Border Gezi Camps - -the Youth Militia Training Centers where the Green Bombers are indoctrinated. Words cannot express my outrage. Rape, brutal beatings and degradation for degradation's sake is the order of the day. Atrocities no less horrific than in Khmer Rouge Cambodia or Mao's Cultural Revolution are being committed daily. These photos are the very tip of a massive iceberg photographed from far away. Many have expressed the hopeful notion to me that things cannot get any worse. Actually, they can and I believe they will. THe death of Zimbabwe proves the time honored saying that "All evil requires to triumph is for good men to do nothing." The good men of Zimbabwe must stand and be counted. If it is to be their country, they will have to stand up to this evil - - otherwise the bulldozers will keep going. Meanwhile, The International Tribunal on Crimes Against Humanity in Zimbabwe should be revving up. They have a lot of work to do!
