updates: The US has reviewed its sanctions on Zimbabwe, transferring President Mnangagwa and 10 other leaders from the Executive Order form of sanctions to the Global Magnitsky programme. The US still maintains illegal embargoes through the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001 (ZIDERA). Economic analysts argue that these adjustments to the sanctions are meaningless as long as President Mnangagwa remains on the list and local companies are constrained in trading freely on the international market. The US Charge d'Affaires, Mr. Laurence Socha, struggled to explain the targeted nature of the sanctions and maintained that the US would not lift the embargo until their requirements had been satisfied. The US sanctions have cost the Zimbabwean economy $100 billion and have resulted in limited access to credit and high borrowing costs. Analysts argue that the US should remove the sanctions unconditionally and that the recent adjustments to the sanctions are merely a continuation of the same old song.

updates: The United States has imposed sanctions on several individuals and entities in Zimbabwe, including President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, Brigadier General (Retired) Walter Tapfumaneyi, and businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei. The sanctions are being implemented under the Global Magnitsky sanctions program and are aimed at holding accountable those responsible for political, economic, and human rights abuses in Zimbabwe. The U.S. government is also implementing visa restrictions and pausing U.S. participation in the African Development Bank Dialogue. These actions indicate a strategic shift towards targeted accountability for human rights abuses and corruption. It is important to note that the sanctions do not apply to Zimbabwe or its people, and the U.S. administration reaffirms its commitment to collaborate with the people of Zimbabwe and support civil society, human rights defenders, and independent media.

updates: The revised story now includes the impact of the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act (ZDERA) on Zimbabwe's sanctions. The Act, enacted by the United States government, aims to support Zimbabwe in achieving democratic ideals and economic recovery. It sets conditions for financial assistance, including debt relief, but has raised concerns and tensions between the two countries. The consequences of ZDERA on Zimbabwe's economy and stability are significant, with the suspension of financial assistance from international institutions exacerbating the economic challenges faced by the country. The story also highlights the ongoing challenges caused by President Mnangagwa's statements regarding the use of the US dollar and the need for banks to adapt their strategies to navigate the changing macroeconomic conditions.
