The United States has called on the Zimbabwean government to implement comprehensive political and financial reforms to restore the country’s former prosperity, reported <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/us-urges-zimbabwe-to-double-down-on-reforms/7876700.html">VOA</a>.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the High-level Structured Dialogue Platform Meeting on Arrears Clearance and Debt Resolution in Harare on Monday, Pamela Tremont, the United States Ambassador to Zimbabwe, said that the U.S. seeks to foster cordial relations with the southern African nation. Said Tremont:
<blockquote>
We’re here today as part of our commitment to the Zimbabwe people that is long-standing and consistent, and we’re here to advocate for the reforms that the international community has been asking for for many years.
We’re quite clear — we need public officials to quit using their public offices for private gain. We need the judiciary to be able to deliver justice independently of political considerations.
</blockquote>
She said the United States also wants “the rights to assembly and free speech to be fully respected,” in Zimbabwe.
Akinwumi Adesina, the president of the African Development Bank (AfDB), called for negotiations on the debt to be expedited. He said:
<blockquote>
Even wars never last this long. It is clearly time to bring this to a close — end the decades of untold damage to the economy of Zimbabwe, the suffering of its people, and have a new beginning with collective hope, aspiration and shared prosperity for its people, today and well into the future. It is time to make Zimbabwe beautiful again.
No one, no matter how strong, can run up a hill carrying on their back piles of sand. The $21 billion debt of Zimbabwe, of which the bulk is actually arrears, has made arrears the new debt stacked like piles of sandbags on the back of Zimbabwe.
We all agree we must play our part to correct this anomaly and give a new lease of life to this nation and its people so Zimbabwe can run again.
</blockquote>
Adesina pleaded with institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to finance new loans for Zimbabwe and forgive or reduce old debts.

The United States wants Zimbabwe to make changes for the country to become prosperous again. They want public officials to stop using their power for personal gain, the judiciary to give fair justice, and people to be able to speak freely. The African Development Bank also wants to help Zimbabwe by negotiating the country's debt and getting new loans. They hope to bring hope and prosperity to Zimbabwe and its people. Everyone needs to work together to make Zimbabwe better.

United States Urges Zimbabwe To Implement Reforms For Prosperity

U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho), ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on Monday, 06 November said President Joe Biden should not attempt to negotiate with the Zimbabwean Government led by President Emmerson Mnangagwa but should rather call out Harare over alleged egregious human rights violations.
In <a href="https://www.foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/release/risch-biden-admin-must-condemn-zimbabwe-governments-severe-repression">a statement</a>, Senator Risch said the U.S. Government should work with its regional and international allies in support of Zimbabweans in their quest to bring about a democratic society. He said:
<blockquote>
It is clear the Mnangagwa regime is entrenched. The United States must abandon any misguided belief that it can negotiate with Zimbabwe’s current leaders, who have a lengthy history of human rights abuses, corrupt practices, and anti-democratic actions spanning over two decades. It’s past time the Biden Administration amplifies its condemnation of this severe repression.
The United States should use every diplomatic avenue to forge a coalition of regional and global partners to act in support of the aspirations of the people of Zimbabwe, and who will not ignore the government’s manipulation of the dire democratic, economic, and humanitarian situation for its corrupt benefit.
</blockquote>
The U.S. Foreign Relations Committee accuses Mnangagwa’s government of silencing criticism, rampant corruption, and clinging to power through illegitimate methods.
It highlighted reports by local and regional bodies, including the Southern African Development Community (SADC) that the August 2023 general elections failed to meet democratic standards.
The Committee also condemned the expulsion of 15 opposition members of parliament (MPs) and the announcement of new by-elections, saying “this strategy is consistent with past efforts to diminish the opposition’s influence in parliament.” It said:
<blockquote>
State-sponsored violence also continues, as evidenced by the abduction and torture of the nation’s youngest member of parliament, the Honorable Takudzwa Ngadziore, which mirrors the mistreatment of other opposition parliamentarians and youth leaders in 2020.
The ongoing arrests and lengthy detentions of opposition figures, like Job Sikhala, on often questionable and politically motivated grounds, illustrate how the government uses the legal system to suppress the opposition and other critical voices.

America Must End Any Talks With Mnangagwa, Says U.S. Top Senator

The United States has expressed concern over reports of assault and abductions of opposition members in Zimbabwe.
Through its embassy in Zimbabwe, the United States urged the Government of Zimbabwe to respect constitutional rights and the fundamental freedoms of all its citizens.
A statement posted on the U.S. Embassy in Zimbabwe’s X page on Thursday afternoon reads:
<blockquote>
The United States is deeply disturbed by continued reports of violence, assault &amp; abductions of opposition members in #Zimbabwe. We urge respect for constitutional rights &amp; the fundamental freedoms that underpin them.
</blockquote>
This follows the abduction of CCC Member of Parliament Takudzwa Ngadziore, on Wednesday, while on his way to Parliament.
CCC said the youthful MP was dumped in Christon Bank, Mazowe, after he was forcibly undressed, subjected to torture, and injected with an unidentified substance.
Former Mabvuku-Tafara legislator James Chidhakwa (MDC) was also allegedly abducted, tortured and injected with an unidentified substance, recently.
Meanwhile, human rights lawyer Douglas Coltart, on Wednesday staged a solitary protest against the alleged abductions of CCC members by suspected state agents.
Coltart marched along a street in Harare holding a placard with the message: “No to abductions! No to barbarism.”

United States Of America "Disturbed" By Reported Abductions Of CCC Members

A group of both US Democratic and Republican lawmakers has asked the White House to move this year’s African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) summit away from South Africa.
They are accusing the South African Government of deepening its military relationship with Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
AGOA gives duty-free access to 25% of South African exports to the United States of America.
A letter dated 09 June addressed to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Trade Representative Katherine Tai and National Security Advisor Jacob Sullivan, by the group reads:
<blockquote>
Dear Secretary Blinken, Ambassador Tai, and Mr. Sullivan:
The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is the cornerstone of the United States’ economic relationship with Sub-Saharan Africa, enabling deeper commercial ties and strengthening U.S. relationships with the region.
We strongly support this program, and support its reauthorization well ahead of its expiration in 2025.
The annual AGOA Forum offers an important opportunity for U.S. and African leaders to bolster economic and diplomatic relations, and we support your continued work to convene a forum in Africa this year.
However, we wish to express serious concerns with the current plans to host this year’s AGOA Forum in South Africa.
South Africa’s government has formally taken a neutral stance on Russia’s unlawful invasion of Ukraine but has deepened its military relationship with Russia over the past year.
Late last year, a Russian cargo vessel subject to U.S. sanctions docked in South Africa’s largest naval port, and intelligence suggests that the South African government used this opportunity to covertly supply Russia with arms and ammunition that could be used in its illegal war in Ukraine.
In February, South Africa held joint military exercises with Russia and China, and in April, authorized a Russian military cargo plane also subject to U.S. sanctions to land at a South African air force base.
On top of this, in August, South Africa will host the BRICS Summit where the government aims to strengthen its ties with China and Russia and is working to facilitate the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite the outstanding arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
We are seriously concerned that hosting the 2023 AGOA Forum in South Africa would serve as an implicit endorsement of South Africa’s damaging support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and possible violation of U.S. sanctions law.
Further, these actions by South Africa call into question its eligibility for trade benefits under AGOA due to the statutory requirement that beneficiary countries “not engage in activities that undermine United States national security or foreign policy interests.”
While we understand that the AGOA eligibility review process for 2024 is underway and that decisions have not yet been made, we question whether a country in danger of losing AGOA benefits should have the privilege of hosting the 2023 AGOA Forum.
Our concerns are shared by many South African citizens and businesses, who are increasingly vocal about deteriorating conditions in the country.
We encourage you to explore other possible locations to host this year’s forum: we believe it is important that the forum takes place this year and that it be held in Africa, continuing the tradition of alternating the forum’s location between the United States and an AGOA-eligible country.
If South Africa continues to demonstrate support for Russia in its unlawful invasion of Ukraine, then hosting the forum in another country in Sub-Saharan Africa would send a clear and important message that the United States continues to stand with Ukraine and will not accept our trading partners provision of aid to Russia’s ongoing and brutal invasion.
Thank you, we appreciate your attention to this issue.
</blockquote>
The letter was signed by Christopher A. Coons, the Chairman, Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Senate Committee on Appropriations, James E. Risch, Ranking Member, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Gregory W. Meeks, the Ranking Member, House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Miacheal T. McCaul, the Chairman, House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Top United States Lawmakers Demand South Africa Be Punished For Alleged Russian Support

The United States of America has congratulated Zimbabwe on the occasion of the country’s 43rd independence anniversary.
In <a href="https://www.state.gov/zimbabwe-national-day-2/">a statement</a> issued by the U.S. Department of State on 18 April 2023, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said his country remains committed to standing with the people of Zimbabwe to promote democratic institutions. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
On behalf of the Government of the United States of America, I congratulate the Zimbabwean people as you celebrate the 43rd anniversary of your independence.
The United States remains committed to standing with the people of Zimbabwe, as we have since your independence in 1980, to work together to promote democratic institutions, equitable economic growth, public health, and food security.
Zimbabwe has the chance to set itself on a path to promote citizen engagement and to respect human rights. We will continue to support the people of Zimbabwe to live longer, more prosperous, and healthier lives.
As you celebrate your independence, please know that our friendship with the Zimbabwean people endures.
We wish all Zimbabweans a very happy Independence Day.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe and the United States have had strained relations since the turn of the Millenium when the former embarked on the land redistribution programme.
The United States responded to Zimbabwe’s land reform policy by imposing economic sanctions on the southern African country through the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001.
A <a href="https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2001/12/20011221-15.html">statement</a> issued by then U.S President George Bush on 21 December 2001 after signing ZDERA reads in part:
<blockquote>
Section 4(c) of the Act purports to direct the executive branch to oppose and vote against the extension of loans or the cancellation of debt in international financial institutions unless and until I make a certification or national interest determination.
I am concerned that this provision burdens my constitutional authority in the area of foreign affairs to conduct negotiations and cast votes in international organizations.
I will construe the provision as being subject to my exclusive authority to negotiate or vote in international financial institutions.

United States Congratulates Zimbabwe On 43rd Independence Anniversary

The United States of America has extended the sanctions that it imposed on Zimbabwe in 2003.
In <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2023/03/01/notice-on-the-continuation-of-the-national-emergency-with-respect-to-zimbabwe-3/">a statement</a> released by the White this Wednesday, 01 March 2023, U.S. President Joe Biden said the restrictive measures initially promulgated through Executive Order 13288 shall continue in effect beyond March 6, 2023. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
<h2>Notice on the Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to Zimbabwe</h2>
On March 6, 2003, by Executive Order 13288, the President declared a national emergency and blocked the property of certain persons, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706), to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States 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.
These actions and policies had contributed to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of law in Zimbabwe, to politically motivated violence and intimidation in that country, and to political and economic instability in the southern African region.
On November 22, 2005, the President issued Executive Order 13391 to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13288 by ordering the blocking of property of additional persons undermining democratic processes or institutions in Zimbabwe.
On July 25, 2008, the President issued Executive Order 13469, which expanded the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13288 and authorized the blocking of property of additional persons undermining democratic processes or institutions in Zimbabwe.
The actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons to undermine Zimbabwe’s democratic processes or institutions continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States.
For this reason, the national emergency declared on March 6, 2003, and the measures adopted on that date, on November 22, 2005, and on July 25, 2008, to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond March 6, 2023.
Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13288.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

United States President Joe Biden Extends Sanctions On Zimbabwe

The United States Embassy in Harare said that all Zimbabwean citizens have a right to peaceful assembly and association.
The statement was issued on Wednesday evening and follows the recent government crackdown on civic organisation leaders who are accused of attempting to overthrow a constitutionally elected government.
<a href="https://twitter.com/usembassyharare/status/1133724218712035328" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The United States Embassy in Harare statement reads:</a>
<blockquote>All citizens and their civic leaders, political parties, or civil society organizations have the constitutional right to peaceful assembly and association.
All have important roles to play in contributing to Zimbabwe’s future and must be given the space and freedom to do so.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, the government has urged citizens not to protest over economic hardships after social media calls for protests to be held on Thursday (today).
<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/05/30/govt-warns-against-protests-blame-mugabe-for-economic-challenges/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Speaking to ZBC News on Wednesday night, the Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Monica Mutsvangwa said:</a>
<blockquote>The right [to protest] does not extend to forcing others to partake in activities against their wishes as well as disrupting them from going about their business.
The government has an obligation to protect all citizens including those who wish to carry on their daily lives undisturbed.
We, therefore, wish to assure the public that the security services will be ready to fulfil their constitutional mandate to maintain law and order as well as protect lives and property from insurgent behaviour.</blockquote>

United States Reiterates Zimbabweans' Rights To Peaceful Assembly

In a statement posted on the U.S. Department of State, spokesperson Heather Nauert said all parties should respect the Zimbabwean constitution and the rule of law following a Constitutional Court ruling on Friday that incumbent president Emmerson Mnangagwa was the winner of the July 30th presidential election.
She said America is concerned about human rights violations and post electoral violence in the country. Nauert said there was need for Zimbabweans to openly discuss issues faced by the nation. We publish the full statement below:
<blockquote>Zimbabwe’s Constitutional Court Ruling on the Presidential Election
Today, Zimbabwe’s Constitutional Court declared Emmerson D. Mnangagwa the winner of the election and Zimbabwe’s next President and dismissed MDC Alliance’s challenge of the July 30 presidential election results. The United States urges all parties to respect the Zimbabwean constitution and the rule of law.
The IRI-NDI Zimbabwe International Electoral Observation Mission reported “several improvements to the electoral process compared to Zimbabwe’s past elections, though equally important problems gave rise to deep concerns that the process thus far has not made the mark.” Further reforms are necessary to meet standards Zimbabweans expect and deserve and which reflect regional and international best practices for democratic elections.
The United States remains concerned over politically motivated human rights violations and abuses, and acts of post-electoral retribution in Zimbabwe. Violence and unlawful activity should not be part of the political process, and those responsible for such transgressions must be held accountable. Human rights and fundamental freedoms, such as freedom of expression and association, must be respected, and victims and witnesses of human rights violations and abuses deserve protection under the law.
The United States encourages the Government of Zimbabwe to hold substantive discussions with all stakeholders and implement electoral and broader political and economic reforms. We stand ready to continue our dialogue with Zimbabwe’s political, economic, and civil society leaders to foster inclusive democratic governance for the betterment of all citizens.</blockquote>

Full Text: US Statement On ConCourt Ruling, Urges All Parties To Respect Constitution, Rule Of Law

Speaking to NewsDay, Zanu-PF legal secretary Paul Mangwana said the signing of the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery (Zidera) Amendment Act of 2018 (S 2779) by United States President Donald Trump is unjustified and unnecessary.
He said Zimbabwe had held free and fair elections which were endorsed by the international community so there was no reason for the United States to impose sanctions on the country. Said Mangwana:
<blockquote>These sanctions are unjustified and unnecessary because when Mnangagwa assumed power, he encouraged continued engagement with the international community, and we do not see the reason why Britain is warming up to Zimbabwe while the Americans keep punishing us for sins of the past such as the land reform. We have also had elections which were judged by the whole international community and were said to be credible, free and fair, and so we do not see the reason why America should continue to take that position.</blockquote>

These Sanctions Are Unjustified And Unnecessary: Zanu-PF Reacts To US President Trump Signing Zidera Amendment Into Law

Addressing delegates during the 242nd US independence celebrations in Harare yesterday,  acting Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Simon Khaya Moyo said relations between Zimbabwe and the United States have improved since Mnangagwa came into power last November.
This is despite the United States issuing a travel warning and approval of tougher conditions for the removal of sanctions on Zimbabwe. Said Khaya Moyo:
<blockquote>On behalf of the Government and the people of Zimbabwe, I wish to extend to the Government and people of the US our warmest congratulations on the 242nd anniversary of their independence. As we join in celebrating this happy occasion, I wish to express my satisfaction that relations between Zimbabwe and the US have significantly improved since the new dispensation was ushered in last November.

Mnangagwa Govt Insists Zim-US Relations Have Improved Despite Travel Warning, Tougher Conditions For Sanctions Removal

Zanu-PF has responded to the conditions given by the United States government for the removal of sanctions. The United States said that it will be looking for <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2017/12/13/us-looking-beyond-mnangagwas-nice-speeches-gives-conditions-removal-sanctions/">concrete reforms from President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government before it removes sanctions</a>.

"We Never Work On Conditions": Zanu-PF Responds To United States

United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that Zimbabwe has an opportunity to set itself on a new path and said that the US was concerned about the current political situation in the country.
Said Tillerson:
<blockquote>I know all of us are following very closely the events in Zimbabwe and they are a concern to I know each of you. They are a concern to us as well, and we all should work together for a quick return to civilian rule in that country in accordance with their constitution. Zimbabwe has an opportunity to set itself on a new path – one that must include democratic elections and respect for human rights. Ultimately, the people of Zimbabwe must choose their government.</blockquote>
Tillerson was speaking at a ministerial meeting on trade, security, and governance in Africa in Washington DC. He urged delegates to discuss concrete ways that the US could help Zimbabwe through the transition.

"Zimbabwe has an opportunity to set itself on a new path": US speaks on Zim current political situation

Members of the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s Africa subcommittee, Senators Chris Coons(D-DE), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Johnny Isakson (R-GA) have released a report in which they urge the leaders of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces to ensure a transparent return to civilian rule.
The Report Reads:
<blockquote>For nearly four decades, Zimbabweans have suffered under the authoritarian rule of President Robert Mugabe, a dictator who has repressed his people and presided over the economic deterioration of his country. While a change in leadership is long overdue, we are concerned about the military’s actions. We urge the leaders of the Zimbabwe Defense Forces to ensure the protection of all citizens and a transparent return to civilian control. 
As the country grapples with a new political reality, Zimbabwe’s leaders must adhere to democratic processes and establish a mechanism for the peaceful transfer of power that is consistent with Zimbabwe’s Constitution and the will of its people. Finally, we urge the Southern African Development Community and the African Union to mediate a democratic process that reinforces the rule of law, promotes economic reforms, and respects the human rights of all Zimbabweans.</blockquote>

Change in leadership was long overdue, but we are worried about military's actions says US Senate Foreign Relations Committee

A report by the United States Department of State accuses Zanu PF of fanning tribal tensions between the Shona and Ndebele groups. The report also accuses the ruling party leaders of fanning hatred against whites and minority groups such as gays.
The report which is titled U.S. State Depart Minority Human Rights-Zimbabwe was released on Friday last week. Parts of the report read:
<blockquote>Zanu PF leaders often encouraged hatred of whites through public speeches and broadcasts. This created tension between Zanu PF supporters and whites. Historical tension between the Shona majority and the Ndebele minority resulted in marginalisation of the Ndebele by the Shona-dominated government.
…Approximately 20,000 persons were killed during the 1980s because of a government-sanctioned crackdown on persons believed to be insurgents in the Matabeleland and Midlands regions
…During the 2013 elections, the mainstream MDC-T often accused Welshman Ncube of the Movement for Democratic Change-Ncube (MDC-N) of campaigning on a tribal platform. In turn the smaller MDC-N complained of continued victimisation and neglect of the minority Ndebele by the Shona-dominated MDC-T and Zanu PF.</blockquote>
According to the report, the Zimbabwean government has scapegoated the white minority group and western countries and blames them for the collapse of the economy.
