The U.S. sanctions against Zimbabwe over the past two decades are not the cause of the economic and development issues in the country, said David Gainer, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs.
Cape Town — The U.S. sanctions against Zimbabwe over the past two decades are not the cause of the economic and development issues in the country, said David Gainer, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs.
Glomag was described by Gainer and Brooks-Rubin as the "more appropriate tool for the 14 targets", including President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and businessman Kudakwashe Regimond Tagwirei, who should bear responsibility for Zimbabweans living in fear. The sanctions remain effective against U.S. citizens who engage in financial transactions or other business with sanctioned individuals and companies, and any property or interest in property would be blocked.
