Imposed Sanctions(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has commended the Southern African Development Community (SADC) member states for supporting the country in calling for the lifting of sanctions imposed by the United States. The United States and its Western allies imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe more than two decades ago. “In solidarity, the SADC community together joined Zimbabwe in calling for the immediate and unconditional removal of these unwarranted and cruel sanctions. U.S. President Joe Biden in March signed an executive order terminating a Zimbabwe sanctions program that had been in place since 2003, but imposed sanctions on 11 individuals. The United States also maintained sanctions on Zimbabwe through the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001.
