The 700,000 Evicted are Being Ignored 5 Years and Counting

Summary: In 2005 the government in Zimbabwe forcibly removed 700,000 people from their homes are still being ignored. Many of them were left jobless and homeless, and despite the best efforts of many organizations meant to help people in their situation, most of the people are still the same. Some of them are living in barely suitable government designated housing or urban homes. The majority of the people who were evicted were already living in poverty and are now just worse off. Amnesty International and the Coalition Against Forced Evictions are asking the government to provide adequate alternative help to those left homeless and jobless.
Opinion: I feel very sorry for many of the families that are struggling to survive with no job and no roof over their heads. In my opinion I do not think that the government is doing everything they should be doing in order to help these people. The government should be building new places for these families to sleep at night, and finding ways to provide jobs to those that can not provide for their families. Before the government took the homes away from all of these people they should have thought of the consequences, because now that these people have no homes, the government is required to provide them with a place to live. Not only did the Zimbabwe government take the homes away from these families, they took away their lives.
