EU Renews Zimbabwe Sanctions For Another Year, Citing 'The Situation'

The European Union (EU) Council has renewed sanctions on Zimbabwe for another year, until February 20, 2025. In a statement seen by Pindula News, the reason for the extension is cited as “the situation” in Zimbabwe. The sanctions include an arms and equipment embargo that could be used for internal repression, as well as a targeted freeze on assets belonging to Zimbabwe Defence Industries. Read the statement:

Zimbabwe: Council renews restrictive measures for a further year

The Council today renewed its restrictive measures in view of the situation in Zimbabwe for a further year, until 20 February 2025.

The EU measures in place consist of an embargo on arms and equipment which might be used for internal repression, and a targeted assets freeze against one entity, Zimbabwe Defence Industries.

Since February 2022 there are no listed individuals.

The EU will continue to closely follow developments in Zimbabwe, with a particular attention to the human rights situation and recalls its readiness to adapt the whole range of its policies accordingly.

Background
On 15 February 2011, the Council adopted Decision 2011/101/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Zimbabwe.

The remaining restrictive measures in place do not affect the people of Zimbabwe, its economy, foreign direct investments, or trade.

The sanctions on Zimbabwe were initially imposed in 2011 due to human rights violations under the leadership of the late Robert Mugabe. They have been renewed annually since then, with some entities and individuals being removed or added to the sanctions list.

Proponents of the sanctions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, argue that they are targeted and do not harm the general population or the country’s economy. However, Zimbabwe’s ruling party, ZANU PF, the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the African Union, and the United Nations contend that the sanctions have unintended consequences for ordinary people and entities. They argue that the sanctions have hindered Zimbabwe’s ability to trade with neighbouring countries, affecting not only the Zimbabwean economy but also that of its neighbours.

Zimbabwe has faced significant economic challenges since the turn of the millennium when Britain first imposed its sanctions. They have been renewed yearly ever since with some entities and individuals being removed or added. The ZANU PF government attributes these difficulties to the sanctions, while Western powers attribute them to mismanagement of national resources, corruption, and poor policies.

In comparison to the European Union, the United States has implemented more stringent sanctions on Zimbabwe since 2003. It is expected that these sanctions may also be renewed in the coming months. The U.S. sanctions are known for their comprehensive scope and strictness, reflecting concerns about the policies and actions of the Zimbabwean government.

Zimbabwe’s relationship with the international community continues to be closely monitored, especially by Western nations. They are watching for progress in addressing human rights violations and promoting democratic reforms. The extension of EU sanctions sends a clear message about their view on recently held elections which were marred by several irregularities.

Zimbbwe will never be able to disassociate itself from undemocratic conduct taking into account how it illegally crippled CCC through Sengezo Tshabangu's recalls. Job Sikhala spent almost 2 years pre-trial in Chikurubi Maximum Prison. During Elections opposition political parties are denied permission to campaign. The list is endless. EHE ICHO !!!!!

ILL-INFORMED PEOPLE APPLAUD SANCTIONS BUT LEGALLY YOU ARE APPLYING FOR A JAIL TERM. HISTORY TELLS US THAT ZIMBABWE IS THE MOST UNFORTUNATE COUNTRY ON EARTH. SMITH DECLARED U D I ON 11 NOVEMBER 1965 AND WAS SLAPPED WITH ECONOMIC SANCTIONS FOR THE REST OF HIS RULE.IN CAME RG AND ZANUPF ,ONLY TO ENJOY SANCTIONS FREE RULE FOR A FEW YEARS BEFORE FALLING IN SMITHS PATH. SO EDALSO IS NO EXCEPTION. BUT LIFE WILL SURELY GO ON. SANCTIONS ARE LIKE ZIMBABWEAN LIFE TAG.

Zimbabwe is an independent state. Aid should and can never be used as a tool to impose the will of former colonialists. Whenever they talk of human rights, their only concern is GAY rights. Africans are massacering each other daily in Eastern DRC etc; the colonialists are not worried about that.But if you arrest 2 lesbians/homo****uals in Kinshasa the whole country will be threatened with sanctions. HUMAN RIGHTS SUMMARY

But the one renewed are about safety on Zimbos ghsts y only military equipment is suctioned there so as freezing our military asset Why go far when the sanctions above clearly state reason there are imposed. Also search about the countries that you mentioned there ade akdo sanctioned

And if they did involve themselves would mean they would choose a side, and you would be ranting that they are interfering with African politics. You must be Zanoid, you want the cake and you want to eat it by yourself.

All those who advocated for sanctions will be behind bars by 2025 saka hazvina mhosva. We know that you're imposing sanctions in order to empower your little puppets on this land. Your plan will fail

Who is guilty of breaking human rights, killing civilians shooting tben at 45 degrees upwards. Thst person defending such killings is the one who should be behind bars. Zanu PF has blood on its hands and is so swift to blame others. ZANU PF members brought sanctions to Zimbabwe make tbem pay especially mbava dzenyu idzi.

USAID, WFP, Red Cross, Christian care, capenum,all these give our fellow Zimbos food aid and some even help those who can't pay fees for their children then after that we every. time when a disease comes they. are there to help Zimbos this is clearly seen at this very moment we are having difficulties to get oral drugs for cholera, a lot of our bros and sis are there working hard and sending money back home to their families and those monies contribute a lot in our economy so don't ever open your mouth and insult where you get help. hanzi ne vakuru usachenjedze nyamukuta Kuz vara uchada

So you are proud that we receive food aid, when we should actually be providing for ourselves? This servitude mentality will prevents you from growing as a human being.

We could be self sufficient, we just spend the money on other things, like rappers from other countries, cars, private jets, the list goes on.
@ANONYMOUS · 1 year ago
Our leaders have failed is yo rushed to claim vmback farms and eventually we moved from food basket if Africa to beggars. Im grown as a human being that's why Im pretty sure that having 2/3 majority in parliament wont make us do away with other countries aid. As long we're still ruled by thieves who can make 15 billion dissappear into thin aur and Agriculture funding or 3 billion to just poof we will always be servants of Chinese, Russian etc. You should ask President and his ministers that Question. We always beat iur chest when we receive tractors which are growing rust in ministers farms, the ZANU PF mentality of them fighting war is tbe one flawed. If we all accept reality and work for a better tomorrow than fattening our pockets, until thst happens yes I will prefare hand outs Mr Anonymous

For some of us who grow up in Rhodesia a Country under the UN embargo it's hard to convince me that the state this country is a result of targeted sanctions. That narrative is being pushed by lazy corrupt shallow minded leadership that tries to pass the buck. When international delegates come to grace Zimbabwe's independence the did not see a war torn country that needed to be repaired but they saw a jewel of Africa.. How did Smith manage to fight a bush war and kept the country,? He was in the worst position ever .
