Black armband protest
The Black armband protest was a protest made by Zimbabwean cricketers Andy Flower and Henry Olonga during the 2003 Cricket World Cup, during which some matches were held in Zimbabwe. The pair decided to wear black armbands to "mourn the death of democracy in Zimbabwe", an action which caused condemnation from senior Zimbabwean figures, but support from the international media, and resulted in both players being forced to leave the country.
== Background ==

The 2003 Cricket World Cup was awarded to South Africa, however they decided to award six of the group stage matches to Zimbabwe, and two to Kenya.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= South Africa, Zimbabwe & Kenya, 2003 )〕 Due to security concerns in Zimbabwe, the British and Australian Governments both advised their players against travelling to Zimbabwe; in the end, England forfeited their match, whilst Australia played and won theirs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= ICC World Cup, 27th Match: Zimbabwe v Australia at Bulawayo, Feb 24, 2003 )
The idea of a protest was started when Andy Flower was taken by a friend, Nigel Huff, to see a farm impacted by the Government's land reforms. In 2000, Robert Mugabe and the Zimbabwean Government had begun a plan of land reforms for redistribution of 3,000 farms, and began compulsorily seizing land from white farmers, with forced evictions and arrests on the basis of "illegally occupying their land". By 2002, it was estimated that around 80% of the 4,500 farms that had been white-owned had been forcibly seized. Another related issue was human rights abuses and violence, particularly against political opponents in the leadup to the 2002 Zimbabwe presidential election; the EU had imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe's ruling elite, which, as of 2015, are still in place. Flower was particularly appalled by the torture of Zimbabwean MP Job Sikhala.
