Sanctions have caused untold suffering to many Zimbabweans. Ordinary people are experiencing hardships as prices of good and services are sky rocketing almost daily and this is being attributed to these illegal sanctions by the United States of America (USA) as much as that country want to sugar-coat the truth by lying through their teeth that the illegal sanctions are targeted at certain individuals and businesses.

The subject of the so called “targeted or smart sanctions” has been topical in the past decade or so. Bold questions must be asked and answered in the quest to address the conduct and manner in which sanctions are imposed. There have been dictatorial tendencies and unintelligible talk aiming at sugar-coating the actual evil behind the so called “smart” sanctions.

A few hours after His Excellency President Emmerson Mnangagwa had finished delivering the State of the Nation Address (SONA), on 1 October 2019, opposition MDC leader, Nelson Chamisa, took to Twitter alleging that the President’s address  was a waste of resources and an unprovoked insult to Zimbabweans as it allegedly did not, does not address key issues facing the nation such as lack of electricity, water, fuel, non-availability of cash, poor wages, human rights abuses, terror, abductions, illegitimacy and reforms.

Zimbabwe has been under American sanctions for the past 18 years. These illegal sanctions have meted untold suffering on ordinary civilians whose rights America ironically claim to be protecting. The biggest lie coming from Washington is that the punitive measures are targeted at a few individuals and businesses and the rest of the country has nothing to fear. This is far from it. The only true fact is that Government is the major protagonist which Capitol Hill intends to fight down and away. Regime change is the end being sought here.
