The sanctions have nothing to do with cholera... Mugabe is free to buy his water purifying chemicalshe just chooses to steal the money with his cronies rather than to buy chemicals.

This is the west's fault for doing nothing. This is the west's fault for wanting to do something. This is the west's fault for the past, present and future in Zimbabwe. Everything that happens in Zimbabwe is the west's fault. Mr. Mugabe is just an innocent victim and should be considered a hero. This all according to Mr. Mugabe.

There are targeted sanctions against about 200 corrupt ZANU and government officials and their businesses. And even these sanctions are not UN endorsed. They are only by US and EU countries. This is why ZANU thieves, line Grace Mugabe can still travel to China and other countries. The poverty in Zimbabwe is not because of 'sanctions' that do not affect absolute majority of the people, but because ZANU destroyed private businesses and forced most of educated, productive people out of the country.

Once again, specifically for those who still does not get it: there are no sanctions against ordinary Zimbabweans. They can freely travel whereever they want. Compare it with sanctions against Rhodesia: Rhodesian passport has not been recognised by any country except SA. There are no sanctions against fair Zimbabwean businesses; they can freely export or import products. Compare it with sanctions on Rhodesia: all exports to Rhodesia and almost all imports have been fully banned by UN resolution

znaika1 Now u agree SATANIC SANCTIONS on Zimbabwe existed? It is a shame that Pres Obama can make changes to shut down Quantanamo Bay Cuba, lifted sanctions on Cuba, lifted Bush's embryonic stem cell research, BUT when it comes to Zimbabwe, he EXTENDS Pres Bush's SATANIC SANCTIONS which are not designed for Pres Mugabe, but to DE-POPULATE BLACKS in ZIMBABWE through extreme poverty. Don't use MUGABE as a SCAPEGOAT. THIS CARNAGE to destroy natives started in well beyond 1893! ZIMBOS ARENT FOOLS

The crisis constituted by the actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons to undermine Zimbabwe's democratic processes or institutions has not been resolved For these reasons, I have determined that it is necessary to continue this national emergency and to maintain in force the sanctions to respond to this threat.

BARACK OBAMA

obama is black and he is doing the right thing by bringing that bitch mugabe to his knees,

african leaders are also responsible for changing the lives of the impoverished

but instead they drive luxury cars and loot

well done OBAMA for being truly democratic

may you show these corrupt african leaders hell

It is amazing that Pres Obama who promised the world that he would BRING CHANGE to the GLOBAL world by making sure every child in every corner of the world receives dignified and humanely treatment. Alas, I was wrong. Instead Mr. Obama slaps the Zimbabwe PM Tsvangirayi with EXTENDED year of Pres Bush's SATANIC SANCTIONS that impoverish innocent lives, and yet he could revoke Bush's BAN on Embryonic Stem Cell Research on 9Mar09. I am sick to the stomach by this CARNAGE! THat is not CHANGE!
