Hi Guys
> Below please find the latest newsletter from Zimbabwe. With the
> elections due on the 29th of this month, let's bear the people of
> Zimbabwe up in prayer and ask God to intervene and ensure that justice
> prevails.
>
> God Bless.

> Letter from Zimbabwe sent in by John Winter

> I reckon that these are the last days of TKM and ZPF. The darkest hour
> is always before dawn.
>
> We are all terrified at what they are going to destroy next........I
> mean they are actually ploughing down brick and mortar houses and one
> white family with twin boys of 10 had no chance of salvaging anything
> when 100 riot police came in with AK47's and bulldozers and demolished
> their beautiful house - 5 bedrooms and pine ceilings - because it was
> "too close to the airport", so we are feeling extremely insecure right
> now.

> You know - I am aware that this does not help you sleep at night, but if
> you do not know - how can you help?
>
> Even if you put us in your own mental ring of light and send your
> guardian angels to be with us - that is a help - but I feel so cut off
> from you all knowing I cannot tell you what's going on here simply
> because you will feel uncomfortable. There is no ways we can leave so
> that is not an option.
>
> I just ask that you all pray for us in the way that you know how, and
> let me know that you are thinking of us and sending out positive
> vibes... that's all. You can't just be in denial and pretend it's not
> going on.
>
> To be frank with you, its genocide in the making and if you do not
> believe me, read the Genocide Report by Amnesty International which says
> we are - IN level 7 - (level 8 is after it's happened and everyone is
> in denial).
>
> If you don't want me to tell you these things then it means you have not
> dealt with your own fear, but it does not help me to think you are
> turning your back on our situation.
>
> We need you to get the news OUT that we are all in a fearfully dangerous
> situation here. Too many people turn their backs and say - oh well,
> that's what happens in Africa. This government has GONE MAD and you need
> to publicize our plight or how can we be rescued?
>
> You can't just say "oh you attract your own reality". The petrol queues
> are a reality, the pall of smoke all around our city is a reality, the
> thousands of homeless people sleeping outside in 0 Celsius with no food
> water, shelter and bedding are a reality.
>
> Today a family approached me, brother of the gardener's wife with two
> small children. Their home was trashed and they will have to sleep
> outside. We already support 8 people and a child on this property and
> electricity is going up next month by 250% as is water.
>
> How can I take another family of 4 and yet how can I turn them away to
> sleep out in the open?
>
> I am not asking you for money or a ticket out of here - I am asking you
> to FACE the fact that we are in deep and terrible danger and I want you
> to pass on our news and pictures and don't just press the delete button
> for God's sake. Help in the way that you know how.
>
> Face the reality of what is going on here and SEND OUT THE WORD. The
> more people that know about it, the more chance we have of United
> Nations coming to our aid.
>
> Please stop ignoring and denying what's happening. Would you like to be
> protected from the truth and then if we are eliminated how would you
> feel? Surely you would say "if only we knew how bad it really was we
> could have helped in some way". I know we chose to stay here and so we
> deserve what's coming to us.
>
> For now, we ourselves have food, shelter, a little fuel and a bit of
> money for the next meal - but what is going to happen next? Will they
> start on our houses?
>
> All property is going to belong to the State now. I want to send out my
> Title Deeds to one of you because if they get a hold of those I can't
> fight for my rights. We no longer have SW radio which told us everything
> that was happening because the government jammed it out of existence -
> we don't have any reporters, and no one is allowed to photograph.

> If we had reporters here they would have an absolute field day. Even the

>
> Please - have some compassion and HELP by sending out the articles and
> personal reports so that something can be done.

This is the type of governments the international community helped created in SA.
