Zimbabwean Police Patrol Capitol as Workers Heed Strike Call
On Wednesday, thousands of Zimbabwean workers flooded Harare, the nation's capital, protesting a recent Finance Ministry announcement that pay for state workers would be delayed. The Zimbabwean government is currently experiencing an economic collapse that has led to a cash shortage, controls on imports, and most recently, a failure to pay salaries on time. The government has increased police presence around Harare in an effort to keep the protests under control.
