A journalist in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second-biggest city, said in a telephone interview on Wednesday that people there were seething over police sweeps that had removed street vendors who supplied the poor with many of their basic needs.
"There's tension," he said. "The police are driving around with dogs in their trucks. They're expecting the worst. They know that things can't go on like this. Something is going to ignite in a fuel queue, or something like that."
