arent helping the US economy itself currenctly. Only they know is that it is their birth right to EXPLOIT Africa after dehumanizing African people. Causing problems and then blaming them on Africans. Let him/her learn about why sanctions are now the weapon next to assassinations of African leaders or support of civil wars in African countries. Dont waste you time him or her.. they dont even acknowleadge oppression of people in own countries only because they are non whites!

@tigerone1970 You cant educate him; he is a racist prick first, supremacist and cold blooded lier next.. If only he coud revisit cases such as Bolivia, NIcaragua and many ohter destabilized nations over resources; then may be he can start to understand that things arent how he thinks they are. He/she is not naive but one of those perpetrators of oppression of black Africans using big economic words which

@lesvokli Are you a big time NUTS man/woman? Learn about the history of homelands expansion by European nations in Africa after 1884-5. Do you think whites came after 1980 while most went out of Zimbabwe due their racist nature as they didnt want to be a black rule? They formerly believed blacks would never to power (Cecil Rhodes declaration). You have to know the hatred nature of white people when it comes to black people before you say investors came after 1980! Such an ignorance! Research..

Thats because you know you have no justification for what has happend in ZIm and its not any1 but Mugabe and his voters to blame. Zimbabwe destroyed Zimbabwe. U chased all the investors away this includes the White Farmers who are infact Investors as they brought finances from abroad into Zimbabwe and built an economy. Most of the farmers have no link to colonialsm and only moved there after 1980. Land reform was political propoganda as revenge on whites for colonising africa.

Ok, I give up. You will not get it.

And read carefully, the act is about removing sovereign debt that Zimbabwe has to the rest of the world, and if u read at the bottom of the act ull c that what the sanctions contain: A) identify ppl responisble for the voilence B) freeze their assets outside of Zim C) travel bans d) EVENTUAL REMOVAL OF THE SANCTIONS. Dude im sorry, u have no ground to speak. U just hate whites. And you know, Whites hate u too, expect the white world is better off, so GOOD RIDDANCE

the US has no obligation to lend money to zimbabwe, especially when the US believes the money would be spent carelessly. Zimbabwe has its own banks, y demand from the US? And sanctions did not cause hyper inflation. Hyper inflation was caused by the mass printing off zim dollars which was been countermeasured by the massive drop in agriculture production and the huge increase in aggregate demand caused by the printing of money. All of these are failed policies leading to Zims demise. face it

[tigerone1970]

" The credit freeze was imposed by privately owned banks that saw giving credit out to voilent war veterans as too risky. "

Since when are the Secretary of the Treasury, or the US Senate 'privately owned banks'? In fact, this directive issued through the US senate is to prevent individual banks from using their own mechanisms and deciding to lend money to the Zimbabwean government.

Please re-read the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001, as I have already posted it here.

The credit freeze was imposed by privately owned banks that saw giving credit out to voilent war veterans as too risky. Once again if u know you economics u would know this. The credit would not have been frozen if the Zim government had not attempted destructive policies. Banks borrow money from investors and then lend it out, y should they risk that borrowed money to outright unlawful, uneducated baboons? Bob has just twisted your mind in believing sactions destroyed Zim.

[tigerone1970]

These are the institutions with which the Zimbabwean government had it's credit lines, which as a result of this act were frozen in early 2002. Double digit inflation turned into hyperinflation in late 2003.

This means there is a closer correlation in time between world record hyperinflation and ZDERA, than there is with the formation of the MDC (1999) or the switch from 'willing buyer, willing seller' to Fast Track land reform (1997).

Hyperinflation was caused by sanctions.
