Zimbabwe excluded from colonial crime records list

London(ZimEye)Zimbabwe is not part of a group former British colonies whose classified colonial crime record files began to be opened in April this year.
The country previously known as Rhodesia, led by the rebel government of Ian Smith, is excluded from the list which covers over a long list of 37 various countries across the world whose archives were collected in the 1960s, strictly classified, and shipped to the UK.
Thousands of the documents detail some of the most shameful acts and crimes committed during the final years of the British empire and were systematically destroyed to prevent them falling into the hands of post-independence governments, an official review concluded, according to the UK paper the Guardian. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office holds around 8,800 files, according to other reports.
“Those papers that survived the purge were flown discreetly to Britain where they were hidden for 50 years in a secret Foreign Office archive, beyond the reach of historians and members of the public, and in breach of legal obligations for them to be transferred into the public domain,” the paper wrote.
The records received the spotlight when Kenyan victims of the Mau Mau conflict successfully took the British government to court for crimes committed in the 1960s.
But Zimbabwean (Rhodesian) records may have been excluded as the former Ian Smith regime in 1965 rebelled against the British government, reorganised itself, and continued for more than 14 years before finally succumbing to pressure to hand back power back to Britain.
The countries named whose records began to be available from April are:Aden (and protectorates), Anguilla, Bahamas, Basutoland, Bechuanaland, British Indian Ocean Territory, Brunei, Cameroons, Ceylon, Cyprus, Fiji, Gambia, Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony, Gold Coast, Jamaica, Kenya, Malaya, Malta, Mauritius, New Hebrides, Nigeria, Northern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, Palestine, Sarawak, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Swaziland, Tanganyika, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, Uganda, West Indies Federation, Western Pacific High Commission and Zanzibar.
Unconfirmed reports claim that Rhodesia’s records were destroyed shortly before independence in 1980, during the ceasefire period which stretched from 1979 to 1980. (ZIMBABWE, ZimEye)

  10. Britain needs to atone itself from the horrors of colonialism and imperialism. An act of public acknowledgement is not enough because cultures and civilisations were destroyed by the greedy appetite of this deplorable act of inhumanity in the name of the empire. Generations of different nationalities have been assimilated into an empirical system that subtlety that continues to this serve the very same purpose hidden behind the cloaks of multiculturalism, globalism and human rights. All commonwealth countries do not have “common wealth” but serve the very purpose to legitimise horrors of this legacy, Britain needs to own up.

  11. Both crimes committed by Britain n ZANU during gukurahundi should be opened we want to see pepertretors rotting in jail especially ZANU ones n victims compasated
