In this detailed clarification, Rutendo Matinyarare addresses Professor Mungano’s statements on ZDERA and sanctions, explaining the difference between executive order sanctions, ZDERA legislation, and the true timeline of Zimbabwe’s loan restrictions. He outlines how sanctions on Zimbabwe were officially repealed in 2024 and clarifies U.S. policy misinterpretations to educate the public and set the record straight.
Description:
ZASM successfully fought Western sanctions on Zimbabwe using UN reports, legal action, and diplomatic pressure. Their efforts led to the U.S., EU, and UK lifting sanctions, restoring over 100 correspondent banking relationships. Zimbabwe can now process Visa, Mastercard, and international transfers freely. This marks a major financial and diplomatic victory, unlocking trade, investment, and economic recovery for the country after 24 years of isolation.
Zimbabwe must pursue reparations for illegal U.S. sanctions, which deprived civilians of basic human rights, as confirmed by a U.S. Congress report. With the law on Zimbabwe’s side, including ICJ guidelines on state responsibility for human rights violations, these reparations could restore infrastructure, compensate farmers, and strengthen the economy. International lawyers are ready to represent Zimbabwe in seeking justice for these sanctions-induced violations.
