Nearly two weeks is the military takeover zimbabwes Security Forces say the situation is getting back to normal the police who havent been seen on the streets of a rally for days. For now that means doing joint patrols with soldiers to try and maintain law and order Law Enforcement agents are already receiving reports of looting and illegal immigration and other peoples property but security firms in houses.

And it will be made by people of the law the announcement comes days after innocence and i got what the new president urged citizens not to take matters into their own hands by punishing allies of the former president Robert Mugabe there are reports that Robert Mugabe and his wife grace have been given immunity from prosecution the police wont say how many of mugabes allies have been arrested so the most high profile is a gracious the former finance minister hes accused of corruption going back at least ten years. Some say selective punishment could be a sign not much is going to change under the new administration we might have had one person removed but the higher of the new peers remains in place so for me the more things change the more they remain the same and you know if im against you and i think you are challenging me. You become fair game in human rights abuses the high court recently ruled the military takeover which eventually saw Robert Mugabe resign was lawful zimbabweans who were tired of having macabre as their leader for thirty seven years have welcomed the courts decision.
