WASHINGTON —
There was chaos and pandemonium in Harare on Wednesday when protesting youth members of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T) led by Morgan Tsvangirai clashed with police in Harare.
MDC members, who wanted to deliver a petition to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission to demand the holding of free and fair elections in 2018, were dispersed by riot police.
Police using water cannons and teargas were seen chasing protesting MDC-T activists in the Harare central business district, which came to a standstill as law enforcement agents targeted anyone who was walking along the streets.
Police refused to comment on the number of people who were arrested during the protests.
