Zimbabwe police raise 'terrorism fears'

Police have claimed that the country was under threat of terror attacks, hence a decision to ban demonstrations and political rallies to take advantage of the volatile situation to create anarchy.

After banning demonstrations in Harare last week, police now say they fear a full scale war could break out in the country due to messages circulating on social media and could not allow political rallies in other urban centres in light of the threats.

PDP Bulawayo provincial spokesperson Edwin Ndlovu described the ban as ridiculous. The police claimed the ban follows reports of terrorism threats circulated on social media platforms.
