Gukurahundi

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

L'espressione Gukurahundi designa la repressione militare attuata dalla Zimbabwe National Army in un periodo compreso tra il 1980 ed il 1988 nella regione del Matabeleland.

Si ritiene che l'operazione, organizzata con l'intento di tacitare gli oppositori di Robert Mugabe e dello ZANU-PF, abbia causato tra i 10.000 ai 30.000 morti, in stragrande maggioranza civili e non oppositori politici. Il massacro, che ha interessato prevalentemente civili di etnia Ndebele, è stato definito da diversi studiosi un genocidio[1], con conseguenti richieste di accertamento delle responsabilità[2].
