Zimbabwean climate migrants living in the Eastern Highlands fear eviction as authorities intensify a crackdown, according to reports. Many of the displaced families settled in the region after drought made farming in their home areas unsustainable. As conditions worsened in their original communities, they moved to the Eastern Highlands, described as more fertile and capable of supporting agriculture. The reports say that as enforcement activities increase, residents who have established themselves in these settlements are concerned that they may be removed from the land. The accounts focus on the growing insecurity faced by migrants and settled households, linking their movement to climate-driven impacts such as prolonged drought and reduced agricultural viability. While details of the crackdown measures are not specified in the provided excerpts, both outlets describe a situation in which government action is escalating and is affecting people who rely on farming for their livelihoods. The reports underscore uncertainty over the migrants’ ability to remain in the areas where they have been living since relocating.
