US Congress now channels new perspective for Zimbabwe, signalling end of sanctions
Demonstrators wave Zimbabwean flags and chant slogans during an anti-sanctions rally at Harare’s National Stadium in Harare, Zimbabwe on October 25, 2019.
The United States Congress is considering a proposed law that could see Washington repealing its two-decades-old sanctions on Zimbabwe—if the southern African country keeps its promises to compensate dispossessed white farmers.
Zimbabwe has been under sanctions from the US since 2001 after the regime of the late Robert Mugabe seized commercial farms from the minority white population for redistribution to landless blacks.
