More squatters on Zimbabwe farms

A FRESH wave of squatters has invaded dozens more white-owned farms in northern Zimbabwe, as police began removing whose occupying other properties elsewhere.

The Daily Telegraph reports that 250 out of 4000 white-owned farms are now occupied.

It says that the government, fearing the economic cost of the crisis, has belatedly ordered police to clear squatters in every region.

In the same newspaper, Graham Boynton says the West must help ensure the forthcoming elections in Zimbabwe are free and fair.
