    Failed Zimbabwean asylum seekers in the UK have been keeping a close eye on the outcome of Zimbabwe’s elections. Many are worried they may soon be forced to return to Zimbabwe, a country they say is not yet safe. What are your thoughts on the asylum seeker’s concerns?pic.twitter.com/97aGg3z51X

        Ever since @edmnangagwa took over the reigns, Zimbabwe is very peaceful. Only this Mugabe backed populist misleader @nelsonchamisa is the thorn in our country. Those asylum seekers like it there just the way the Mexicans wannabe in USA. #DeportThemAll

        The incumbent should allow another rule Zimbabwe. As much as he helped in ousting Mogabe, he’s been in power with Mogabe, and it’s time to allow another set of people take the reign of that country

        They are some of the most vocal in inciting violent demonstrations to support their asylum efforts.
