Zimbabwe: Eviction campaign continues
28.07.2005
Riot police turned an urban township into a ghost town Wednesday, rounding up the last residents in defiance of a UN call to halt a demolition campaign that has left 700,000 without homes or jobs. After emptying the Porta Farm township - where some 30,000 people lived just days ago - earth-movers were seen lumbering into the area to finish clearing debris from destroyed homes, cabins and shacks as part of what the government calls Operation Drive Out Trash.
