Zimbabweans on Twitter are using #Howtheyrobbedus to tell sad stories of how the government of President Robert Mugabe has failed the people.

1. When world class hospitals become dumping grounds.

2. Hospitals that are under-staffed and ill-equipped.

3. When we are forced to flee our homes.

4. And we don’t see our loved ones for years.

6. We go to places where they hate us.

7. Places where our loved ones die alone.
