One of the first atrocities of his shoking reign became known as the 'Gukurahundi' - a series of politically motivated killings in the 1980s. Thousands of civilians were killed in Matabeleland in the south-east of the country, and the international criticism was muted at best. Twenty years on, Gukurahandi in Zimbabwe holds new relevance as Mugabe's erratic and autocratic rule pushes Zimbabwe, once a prosperous hope for Africa, into decline. The report that brought the tragedy in Matabeleland to light was initially commissioned by the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace and the Legal Resources Foundation in Harare. The publication of this book is clarion call for the world to wake up to the crisis in Zimbabwe and campaign for an end to the egregious human rights violations there and for restorative justice for the victims.

It is ten years since the original publication of Breaking the Silence: A Report on the Disturbances in Matebeleland and the Midlands. In conjunction with the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace and the Legal Resources Foundation in Harare, the Report is offered again at a time when theevents it describes - the Gukurahundi - have acquired a fresh relevance.This edition has an introduction by Elinor Sisulu, who reflects on her own and others' silence at the time of the killings, as they celebrated a newly independent Zimbabwe; and a foreword by Pius Ncube of Bulawayo, well known for his outspokenness and for his stand against the ongoing human rightsviolations by the government in Zimbabwe. It is hoped that this edition will find a new and wide readership, and that the re-availability of the Report will mean that more people will campaign for an end to human rights violations in Zimbabwe, and for restorative justice for the victims.
