Zimbabwe to compensate victims of Mugabe genocide Ndebele tribe, But is to late and out of the heads

Zimbabwe is to open talks about compensation for victims of a notorious 1980s massacre that took place when former president Robert Mugabe was in power, Zimbabwe's government said on Saturday.

Some victims will also be will be exhumed and reburied according to local customs, the statement added.

The news followed talks between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and tribal chiefs to settle longstanding grievances over the so-called Gukurahundi massacres.

From 1983, Mugabe deployed a North Korean-trained military unit to crack down on a revolt in the southwestern region of Matabeleland in newly independent Zimbabwe, say rights groups.

They killed an estimated 20 000 people over several years, according to the Zimbabwe Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace, a death toll supported by Amnesty International.
