This is a link to some excellent photographs of a ZIPRA Camp in Zambia photographed by Peter Marlow who assisted ZIPRA at that time.

There camps were huge and the people heavily politicised, I cant see how one can call them refugee camps?

PETER MARLOW
ZAMBIA. Refugee Camps. 1978.During the War of Independence for Rhodesia, Peter Marlow worked with the ZAPU organisation led by joint leader of 'The Patriotic Front", Joshua NKOMO, who with Robert MUGABE was one of the main forces in the capitualation of Ian SMITH the white prime minister of Rhodesia, and the formation of Zimbabwe. Through military action from the front line states of Zambia and Mozambique, and political action, Zimbabwe was formed. Peter Marlow was the first photographer to be allowed to see the scale of the military build up in Zambia, young recruits from the many refugees coming over the border to escape the war, formed the basis of this army in the making. They had little more than wooden guns carved out of branches of trees, and stuck together with the melted down plastic of aid sacks . Marlow set up a mobile darkroom for ZAPU in Lusaka and trained members of ZAPU in the techniques of printing and photography. This was later destroyed in an attack by Rhodesian special forces on one of their many incursions into Zambia.
