Team Pachedu, a group of activists on Twitter sympathetic to opposition political movements, has gathered excerpts from remarks made by the United States of America ambassador to Zimbabwe, Brian Nichols about the effects of ZDERA on the country\u2019s economy. Below are the excerpts:<\/p>\n
Some people would like to blame U.S. sanctions for Zimbabwe\u2019s economic crisis. However, the United States does not seek to harm the Zimbabwean people; U.S. sanctions target their abusers and oppressors.<\/p>\n
The purpose is simple: to hold accountable human rights violators and corrupt individuals, and signal that the United States will not turn a blind eye on those who undermine Zimbabwe\u2019s Constitution and democratic institutions.<\/p>\n
If there is any question about how a government goes about enacting reforms, one need only look at the case of Ethiopia\u2026 Zimbabwe can absolutely achieve similar reforms, building business confidence and ushering in foreign investment.<\/p>\n
When I ask US firms why they haven\u2019t invested in Zimbabwe yet, they don\u2019t mention sanctions; they worry, instead, about Zim\u2019s economic policies and political instability. The solution to these concerns is simple \u2013 Zimbabwe must ACCELERATE on the path to REFORM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
