News of Zimbabwe Abuses using the Net: Resources
The BBC has published evidence that abuses, beatings, intimidation and undermining of the democratic process are being co-ordinated in Zimbabwe by the police and army (vua Paul Canning).
It is possible to keep track of what is happening on the ground via Net Feeds provided by various civil liberties bodies. This is an updated version of a Wardman Wire post “Scrutinise the Zimbabwe Elections using Twitter and Flickr: Sokwanele” from a few days ago.
The situation appears to be getting worse, so please do what you can to keep the spotlight on it.
Key Points
There are a number of organisations and resources listed here. This is a summary.
- Map of incidents: Sokwanele Map
- Most frequent updates: Sokwanele Blog, RSS Feed, Twitter. Women and Men of Zimbabwe.
- Photo feed: Sokwanele photo feed (on Wardman Wire blog front page).
- Video: Eyes on Zimbabwe
- Human Rights/Free Media: Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA), Zimbabwe Human NGO Rights Forum
Scrutinise the Zimbabwe Elections with Twitter, Flickr: Sokwanele
I have been running a Flick-R photo feed about abuse and violence meted out by Robert Mugabe’s followers and thugs to those opposing his regime in the elections in Zimbabwe for several weeks, from the Zimbabwe Civic Action Support Group.
There is also a Twitter feed at http://twitter.com/sokwanele which is updated from time to time. Here are the entriues since it was launched in late May (read from the bottom). Harrowing.
Why not carry the Photo feed (if your readers can stomach it) or the Twitter feed on your blog. If you need to know how, drop a comment in the box, and I will do a “Howto” article. The elections in Zimbabwe are on June 27th, so it would be a good boost to scrutiny and awareness if a number of bloggers did this.
