| Description | Zimbabwean police yesterday bulldozed thousands of shanty towns in Harare and cities across the country, making thousands of people homeless.
After a weekend hiatus President Robert Mugabe's authorities restarted the massive demolition campaign to tear down all illegal houses that have sprung up in the cities, according to accounts from Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare and Victoria Falls.
Armed police razed homes as families scrambled to save their possessions. The army was called in to help in some areas where residents protested and put boulders in the roads.
