Zimbabwean soldiers are occupying intersections in Harare and a military helicopter flies overhead.
People scatter as armored vehicles speed by with sirens wailing.
"They are killing us," a man shouts.Some protesters threw bricks into a main road with a military truck parked nearby, then ran when police trucks with water cannon raced toward them.
This is the first time Zimbabwe's military has been on the streets of Harare since the removal of longtime leader Robert Mugabe in November. At the time the military was met with cheers and selfies.
"Those same tankers 'we' celebrated last year in November are being used against us," says one shocked Zimbabwean after armed troops moved into the capital to disperse opposition protests over disputed election results.
