At a press conference Wednesday, Nov. 26, at the U.N. headquarters, Catherine Braggs, deputy emergency relief coordinator in the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said: "Government [Zimbabwe] expenditure is insufficient to support [the] purchase of medical equipment" needed to treat its citizens who are afflicted with cholera. According to Braggs, sanctions are one of the reasons why the Zimbabwean government is unable to save its citizens from the ravages of the disease and control its spread. In a statement oozing with platitudes, Ban expressed support for the so-called "Elders," who were unable to visit Zimbabwe. He added that he regretted the decision of the Zimbabwean government "not to cooperate with their timely, well-intended effort to assist the people of Zim...

S. and British economic sanctions have had an extremely adverse affect on the Zimbabwean economy. International finance and trade have been frozen for years. The sanctions were imposed after President [Robert Mugabe], at the behest of the people of Zimbabwe, reclaimed vast tracks of arable, mineralrich land stolen by British settlers and redistributed it to indigenous peoples," said spokesperson Omowale Clay. Clay added that after Mugabe's stringent land reclamation policy went into effect, "Suddenly, President Mugabe became an enemy of the West. The severe sanctions were deliberately imposed in order to make the Zimbabwean economy scream and break the bond between ZANU-PF and the people. Here in the U.S., we must demand Congress immediately end the toxic Zimbabwe Democracy and Econo...
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- President Robert Mugabe faced deeper international isolation Wednesday, with African states demanding that a discredited runoff election be postponed and anti- apartheid icon Nelson Mandela rebuking the Zimbabwe leader for the first time. Tougher sanctions, sporting bans and economic boycotts could be next -- and world support may build for opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, who called Wednesday for talks on power sharing.
Everyday CNN and the BBC and the rest lie about Zimbabwe," said clay, who had just gotten back from the airport, suit cases in tow. "One lie is that Morgan Tsvangirai [of opposition party Movement for Democratic Change-MDC-T] dropped out of the [presidential] race. First of all, Zimbabwe has laws. The British didn't give them to them. They fought a national liberation struggle to establish a sovereign country. In their electoral law, if you're going to drop out of a race, you must do so 21 days before that election. If you don't do it then, then you are illegally dropping out and your name will appear on the ballot because that is the law in Zimbabwe. Tsvangirai dropping out was a propaganda stunt. For the British settlers, Zimbabwe was considered their country. The climate in Zimbabw...

In recent years foreign direct investment in developing nations has come under threat by government policies seeking to expropriate or nationalize the assets of foreign corporations. A variety of political and economic motivations have given rise to expropriation activities.

In September 1983, President Reagan hosted Zimbabwean Prime Minister Robert Mugabe at the White House, praising the three-year- old southern African country as a bulwark against Soviet influence and praising his guest for his "wise leadership in healing the wounds of civil war. A quarter-century later, the 84-year-old Mr. Mugabe, now the country's president, is fighting for his political life. Once one of the richest countries on the continent, Zimbabwe today suffers from a shattered economy, plunging health and social indicators, bitter internal divisions and international sanctions that have left its leader and his regime a pariah in the United States and the West.
