- US Revamps Zimbabwe Sanctions: Relief for Ordinary People | Vantage with Palki Sharma
The US has revamped its sanctions on Zimbabwe. It has removed sanctions on numerous companies and people. Now it is just targeting 11 people and 3 firms. President Emmerson Mnangagwa is still under sanctions, and so is the first lady Auxillia. The US is still trying to hold them accountable for corruption and political repression. But the new sanctions list should come as a relief for the ordinary people of Zimbabwe, who no longer have to suffer for the crimes of their leaders.

Zimbabwean here. Thank you Firstpost and Palki for covering this. That said, if the West still thinks that we will give up the farms and mines we took in the 2000's they're dead wrong. We know the importance of land and they can do whatever they want, we will keep selling our agricultural proceeds & minerals illegally and we'll be fine
This has nothing to do with the land reforms, that's just a propaganda used by the regime. Speaking of which, who has benefited from the land reforms besides the Zanu PF elites?. Even among them they aren't even happy about how the the so called reforms have only benefited a few individuals in Zanu PF.
Nyatsimba Mutota we have the land yes. What are we doing with it? Forget the sanctions, move around the country and see the farms we have taken from the whites I think we’re using 5% of it and the rest it’s not being used. That’s not a victory. The time we accept the facts in Zimbabwe we shall move forward as a country.
@tawandamwedzi5629 are you saying the land should be given back. And we should accept punishment for wanting what's ours. I am not saying current situation is tolerable it has been abused but does not mean we should beg.
@@gilberttigere5116 the idea of land redistribution was ok ,but the execution was and still is terrible.
I just think land was grabbed to be given to political elites and thier cronies. Taking lamnd back was good but the poeple who took it dont know what to do with it and dont care how to manage it.
I think proper land auditing should be done and most farms should be given to capable locals not the ones holding that land right now. This should be don on productivity not partisan. Some places u see a youth with 100 hectares but its just a cute jungle no production.
As a Zimbabwean what does American want from Zimbabwe? the people have survived 23years without it we know American needs our resources 😢and has lost ground in many African countries
America is suctioning south Africa for supporting Russia and suing israel so they can't survive without one of of two countries that is either Zimbabwe or South Africa I feel that if America loved us for 23 yrs they cld have worked otherwise but they just want to loot worst criminals in the world going around causing instability in the world.
If I hd power I was not going to allow American close to Zimbabwe we survived without them
I managed to leave for my life goals till 2004 but from that cos of sanctions I have 23 wasted year they come today for what
Thank u, comrade.
lithium
EVERY AFRICAN COUNTRY DOES NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH AMERICA, NOW THEY WANT YOUR COUNTRY
They want the land and minerals. They say "how dare you take back our land?"
It's not out of goodwill. It's because off that Zimbabwe discovered Lithium. They probably want to leach the minerals
Fair point at the same time what you call “leaching” some might call it smart business
@@Tru222When did us ever offer 'smart business' for any country in Africa and especially Zimbabwe.. please 👀
African countries needs to have a single currency, free trade area and free movement of people and capital. This way African countries will be insulated against evil & illegal western economic sanctions.
You are crazy
Duzvi@@tapiwakatandi6763
No.. we know people are just gonna flock to south africa!!
Only in your dream. Only a united Africa can.
Definitely not.... 🙈
Zimbabwe a giant rising again 👏🇿🇼
Zimbabwean here, this is all about lithium in our country and we’re now clever this time around 😉
That's what I'm saying. They better not sell out I don't trust them since they were smuggling Zimbabwean gold to Dubai
You ate this morning big man 😂
There’s no cleverness with zanu pf still around

Zimbabwe don't do business with the American government,you have alternatives to deal directly with Bricks nations, American Dollar no longer important for business
We use the US dollar everday
@@Seth-MAD-manfor now
Palki, you're right sanctions have always been the wrong move yet people understand it was punishment for land grabs. Targeted sanctions don't work either, the US will never understand, politicians in Africa are never affected by these things and whatever they do, they do for their children. Ordinary citizens will still suffer
Thanks Palki much appreciated 🙏
Wrong. Sanctions started with Zimbabwe entering the Congo War in 1998. This was a US proxy war. Until then Mugabe was the darling of the West. The land occupations led by War Veterans came later. Mugabe had no choice but to agree to land reform. Mugabe and ZANU(PF) werenever sanctioned for the numerous things they did wrong. They were sanctioned for what they did right.
As long as ZIDERA is still in place and the leadership is under sanctions then nothing has changed.By taking back our land from the colonizers we touched a raw nerve.
People do not understand that Zidera is still in place and it is the one dragging the economy down..
No matter what the USA says or do, Zimbabwe will remain Zimbabwe, and we will never bow down to them as they have always wanted. They are running out of ideas as China is making more progress in Africa.
Why Western nations are having sleepless nights about Zim.
Ok it's very rich😂
actually yes!
GOLD mines.
you didn't hear that.
Yes very rich everyone wants their grubby hands on it without benefiting the locals including our politicians
U can ask again
American is desperate and looking for new fools to control it has lost ground in most parts of African
ehe zve
But they were saying from the beginning that the sanctions were not targeted... The reality is that the americans realised that we are prospering with they sanctions still being imposed on us and they are now trying to buy their way back into our boosting economy.. They have lost their economic war againt us...we will never give up our land and our resources to their control
American sanctions were not only targeted at the ruling party, ZANU, but at the economy of Zimbabwe. This country for 23 years could not access foreign investors from USA and Europe combined and was not allowed to borrow from western financial institutions such as the World Bank and the IMF, because of the land take over by the government from colonial farmers. Hence the decline in the economy for decades which had left the country totally impoverished . However, recent moves to take over land by local Zimbabweans has improved agricultural output but not much done in the manufacturing sector. One questions why America wants to remove some of their sanctions or is it for the sake that Zimbabwe now has both lithium and petroleum resources that will be of immense benefit to the nation or do Americans now seek to control these resources. The Chinese have been interested in this country and these resources and who cares about the Americans now.
China already controls all Zimbabwe's natural resources. What they don't want are Zimbabwean immigrants in china
America wont win this one...we can smell a rat from kilometres away..we dont need american investors in Zimbabwe,we just wanted the platform for us to do transaction with other countries freely and fairly
Not economy ,it was corruption and mismanagement. Ian Smith was Zimbabwe Prime Minister being white ,was under sanctions ,but he did well economical. Stop Lying.
I don't think America will be interested in these resources because you see many countries have these resources. what makes Zimbabwean fail continuously is that there is not enough infrastructure development and if foreign companies invest in the mining business for example then they would have to invest in infrastructure also which will make it more expensive. at last its the duty of the government to invest in infrastructure so that foreign companies can do business at a low cost.
@yashparmar7109 You still have a lot to learn about Zimbabwe.
How does 1 country gain so much power over the world
Money and military force
This is a real news we looking for .
As a Zimbabwean i feel the need to explain that First of all; Mugabe wasn't a dictator, he was an authoritarian and yes there is a difference. A dictatorship holds total control over the nation's politics, economics and the society. Whilst Mugabe did hold great influence over Zimbabwe, he wasn't at THAT level of power as say Russia or China.
And second; yes mismanagement was the biggest contribution to our country's decline than sanctions but they only worsened the situation for the ordinary folks.
As a so called Zimbabwean, you are clueless and ignorant about the ZIDERA sanctions and how they collapsed our country. You are also ignorant of the fact that those ZIDERA sanctions forbade any financial institutions to give Zimbabwe any loans or grants or just writing off debt. Sanctions were used as a Regime Change Tool, but that did not work. Wake up wena.
Mugabe was the worst
@@spydermanzimbabwe and your comparing to whom exactly?? Saddam Hussein? Xi Jing Ping? Putin? Omar Albashir? Congo's long line of dicks? I'm lost.
Anyone who rigs elections is a dictator. Go back to school
Its elicit market when USA its not getting minerals from zimbabwe, am really tired of this thing called America
You are very right,why do they think they are the god of our African countries,they have sinister plot behind,who is going to sanction them about their own issues in America,
Economic sanctions are illegal and has affected the ordinary people in Zimbabwe. Those ones whom they put on "targeted sanctions" aren't suffering.
It's because of our land
Its our gold. How does a government smuggle its own gold. Unless they are saying the minerals are USA minerals.
The government is not allowed to sell.its gold, so they have to look for alternative low paying matkets. But that kept them going.
These sanctions are just on paper and political than economical
All the accusations aganist the top brass have not been verified under law
whose law?shame
@@censusmarega8402 whose law? What do you mean. Is it lawfull to persecute someone without going through the legal process with evidence to persecute him ??
@@moreblessingtmadzikatire3889 They think Africans are stupid and brain dead . "Which Law "they say lol. They love the world of international law , when they fake friendship and trade ( plundering resources) . We are not quite now and they are not liking it .kikkk
@@moreblessingtmadzikatire3889they’re not being prosecuted, they are being blocked from access to financial institutions. It’s like being blacklisted
@@evem620 yes but the issue remains, there was no lega process to determine whether they are guilty
if there is Gold anywhere for grabs - the anglosaxons will be there , creating strifes & looting it themselves.
the curse of Gold ( Kalyug resides in Gold ).
If your father is sanctioned the whole family suffers because your father is the one that gets a salary
That's exactly, 100% correct. I always tell people that. If USA have small love for Zimbabweans they couldn't have put SANCTIONS. Sanctions must be completely removed. All of them.
Simple bro nothing to celebrate here😢
Well they believe we are stupid to know squat . Probably believe we are all brain dead . 😂😂
That is if he is a responsible family man. What if his salary was never for the children
@@tkn140 well destroyed the stove so that they won't be hungry . Logic says probably he won't care . The one who destroyed the stove what did he do , sit for 23 years and hoped for what ?. What pipe of delusional problem solving is that . Vultures do not hover over to save the deer is the situation here lol. The corn 🌽 send to some selected Reserve are aid . The very idea that Africa Aid is corn is an insult . Stock feed . If you are Zimbabweans you know it was Land disputes . Now it's about Gold Mafia 😂😂. It never rains it pours . If life span is 60 years 20 years in Jail is 1/3 of your existence. Folk talk about sanctions like it's no big deal . You can't strip people's access to basic needs to sustain life and claim human rights . It's just gross . Sikhamani ! That's devious.
Give credit where it's due, The Anti-Sanctions movement won this in court the US was forced to make changes on the illegal sanctions, they should be paying for all illegal sanctions.
Yes
Well said Palki. You’re such a gem
Is the US govt going to compensate the vast majority of Zimbabweans who suffered all these 22 years of US sanctions?
Who brand other people 'dictators' and others not in this World.
How accurate are those judges?????
We the Zimbabwean citizens are the judges. Zim government is worse than the devil's counsel.
Biggest worst dictator is America and American presidents
Very accurate
@user-sz1y6tt4g,The so called judges are not accurate,it’s pity people continue to listen to these fake media about so called dictactors when in fact America is the dictator
You are not a Zimbabwean. There is no black Zimbabwean with a surname Baxter.@@ccbaxter.1384
To correct you..Mugabe was not a dictator neither the current president..Zimbabwe took its land thats the punishment but we wont back down.
You are a disgrace
Don't be surprised, India MSM are cheap western propaganda mouth piece.
Huh?
Mugabe was a dictator
So what can be said about opposition figures who were championing these sanctions?
Sellouts
against their own ppl? that tells sooooó much about patriotism for your land love of yourself n love for your OWN PPL...they are not using common sense n wisdom at all
@@emancipatedlionm9215They are traitors.
Even Iranians should be free from there political sanction
Thank you Palki
Understood thanks
They picked up the smell of the oil from Muzarabani
Good for our country
Everybody when asked can tell what Africa needs to do except these African leaders. Power is not something that people give up easily and African unity will mean these leaders will have to give up some power, the reason Africa does not have a common currency, common army, common market, open borders, is because all the countries in Africa are still yoked with European ideology, each country believes themself better than the other, the Ego in Africa is so inflated that when it pops we will feel the shockwave in Alaska.
The US fear Russia influence... The joy of multipolar world
Because they are not selling minerals to the US it's called "elicit markets"😂
Good presenting from the anchor. She made easy and interesting to follow the story. #palkisharma
An old favorite 😂true true
Lol it's an old Meneses. We buckled the so called decolonization of us being locked in reserves like the Native Indians . We fought and said . America does not forgive and forget . Look at Cuba. They haven't lifted the sanction . Why ? It's 60 years for them . Our resources and they can't stand by and watch China get all the lithium and Gas deals .
Moreover, if the economy changes with the sanction still on there will be a big blow to the favourite weapon of control . . " We care about the ordinary people of Zimbabwe. Sorry we are not ordinary . We are extraordinary. . We ain't stupid like those who are made to believe fake progress whilst still the same old locked up in reserves .
For non Zimbabweans let me break it down
First we have discovered high grade oil and they dont want left out
Second they are prepalring to go after South Africa and need a jump off point in Southern Africa and Xim is next best thing
But we wlll never be used against our brothers qnd sisters in SA. Never
Amandla. Aluta Continua👍💪✊
Interesting when ever there is western interference in Africa there is always A WESTERN AFRICAN. I wonder if a coincidence
Wale Adeyamo sounds West African 🙄🥴🤔
I don't think so ,Zidera the big elephant in the room still stands
African union must also sanction USA
africa is not united on the other hand usa uk canada australia europe are thats the reason the are ahead . unity is strength thats why china is ahead any chinese or american have to do is to pay some money to some african leader and the leader will sell future of africa
Long live Rhodesia. There is work to do, to bring sanity to the loved country.
You're My Favourite News Anchor Mrs Palki Sharma
Let's first see if the economic sanctions have been removed first, and how the economy will react
Credit to the ruling party hope America is not targeting Mnangagwe's mineral resources
China has already done that. You Americans are too slow.
Kinda just did with
Hopefully they will go back home and rebuild now.
Biden should try placing sanctions on Ireland... his native homeland..🤣🤣🤣
I As a Black American hates what U.S. is doing to my African Brothers and sisters. Praying for your Blessings and Strength Zimbabwe. May GOD protects you and keeps you for the World's corruption .
Africa is yearning for honest leadership .
Zimbabwe is an independent country unlike the whole of usa colonies (uk and Eu )
I agree Zim is under oppression but can we really compare it with what's happening in Gaza and Palestine
Yeah she's absolutely right💯. Thousands of ordinary Zimbabweans have suffered SUFFERED! or even died because of these sanctions imposed on them by a people who have a neo-colonial mindset. "It was always a mistake, but at least that has been rectified now" - Palki Sharma. If we know who imposed these illegal sanctions, which have been proven by court to be a crime against humanity, then why are they free?
I am zimbabwean and palki is just good at this job👌
A freedom fighter
Thanks to Traore.
What relief is there when our reserve bank and all its affiliates are under sanction .
We don’t care about their sanctions here in Africa , soon they will want to relocate to Africa , there are circles and ours will come soon
Is America the official world police?
Tell the truth am a Zimbabwean we still feel the pain . Sanctions have proved useless they are supposed to look for other options or leave us
Let me explain something at the end of the day this leadership won't change life style so it means individuals will pay for .
Why shouldn't the gold selling be done 'over the table' and allow the most responsive bidder to buy it and the proceeds appropriated and accounted for accordingly?
This info was not broadcasted on the familiar stations..was it??? Zimbabwe is slowly getting ahead...not sure of neither this leader nor this oppostion who is supporting sanctions against HIS OWN PPL( then desires their votes 🤔). they will rise AGAIN ..💯 Thanks for this report 💥
LOL THEY WANT THE LITHIUM
💙👍
It is a victory
What the f*ck , leave us alone
Zimbabwe.we.want change
Can we also try try to understand what the sanctions achieved for the past 23 years. How will sanctioning Mnangagwa and his wife help the people of Zimbabwe going forward.
Wownim surprised the way she pronounced his last name correctly
🎯 less insane approach. .
I can't for this woman i love her n 110% nothing more that . periods crying won't help me 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Recently the government has started regenerating the city and its road network and people are excited.This move has a negative impact on the opposition seeking regime change through these sanction.The more Zimbabweans suffer from sanctions the more they hate their government and force them to vote for the opposition. Of course this stance has failed and the opposition has a headache at its hands.
Sanctions better than war
They have no choice BRICSs is here
They want trouble in the country now smh never see smoke without fire people them not buying this one 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Smart peasants. Since they are already drafting sanctions for Zimbabwe's neighbours - ie South Africa for taking the US to ICJ for the G3nocid3 in Gaza; America now prepares its escape route and Zim is that route.
May Zim prosper going forward.
Zim will stand with South Africa,we have been through that road we understand.and they think they can divide us,never never never.we see them,they think there are smart.we suffered because of illegal sanctions
I hope we remain smart enough to appreciate and counter this.

@@williemazurutse1880America will be a superpower for another 1000 years! I feel very bitter but this is facts. Chinas hostile top down rule is already crippling the nation. The draconian Hokau system and extreme control shows a system that is not self adjusting like the US.
You must listen to munangagwa when he speaks you'll understand how ruthless he is and playing a God over the Zimbabwean citizens
News headlines reporting like a propaganda machine in the 90s
It's all about Chinese mining companies gaining contract in Africa intead of U.S. and European 's. Since when U.S ever care about Africans.
Thank you very much ... I am a Zimbabwean and on behalf of the people of Zimbabwe we are happy 🎉❤ I hope this is going to bring forth happiness that we all desire
There's nothing you oughta thank these evel greedy murderers for mukoma wangu.
It's so sad
Nothing z gonna change as long as corruption is there
impressive how she pronounced Mnangagwa
They are coming for your resource
Can the country helped with out them the heads, s approvals
Zimbabweans sanctions are aimed at South Africa warning them should land expropriation happen where the best has a significant stake in the South African economy that's the who idea.
Too late too Litttle!!.
What has changed?
ZANU PF the trouble causer must go
what do us wants
Lol those sanctions don't actually affect the sanctioned individuals...it's the common man who suffers
Nothing for dreams
That woman 👌
The ordinary Zimbabwean or rather African, in fact the ordinary citizen is always fighting a war on many fronts because of national and geopolitics, rarely celebrating on progress. How such few men (Both national & International) dictate the lives of millions into poverty is beyond me. But a day of reckoning is always coming sooner than they expect or think. Indeed, universal truth is never measured in mass appeal.
Us helping Zimbabwe I do not believe this!
china is getting so many resources that are critical the usa is now rethinking their position
How can u drive a train with out a driver
As long as ypu check the list of sanctions.l and Zimbabwe come ls up despite the footnote saying individuals....Zimbabweans will suffer. There were NEVER sanctions against Zimbabwe. But targeted sanctions which culminated in the whole country being sanctioned.
This is more of the same. Its still effective sanctions with just fewer names to disguise an improvement that is only a farse.
The illegal sanctions remain and no improvements will be seen.
The people of Zimbabwe must just continue as they have.
I hope Zimbabweans can make money on TH-cam now
Zimbabwe has 23million people. 17 is long time ago.
Where did you get this?
Sanctioned for taking back your land
