The Truth About U.S. Sanctions Against Zimbabwe

- The U.S. just levied new sanctions against Zimbabwe.
While the media hardly mentioned them, the US & EU have sanctioned Zimbabwe for 21 years.
BT's Kei Pritsker explains the devastating sanctions and how they punish the country simply for reclaiming land for the Black majority.
You could do a whole series on usa sanctions around the world, dozens of countries
Yesssss
Agree!
Please do!
US wars and sanctions are all about the same : Do what I (US/western Big Businesses) want or get starved/killed. They call it freedom....and it is...for them.
We are a free nation, we trade or not trade with who ever we want! The dollar is ours! If you don’t like it, too bad!
I am Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 and thank you so much for this report, no one in the western media ever talks about the crippling impact of these sanctions and all because we wanted our land back. Well that land is the one that is making us survive these past 21years and we will never relinquish it again
Your word is good. It is better to die than to hand over your heritage to bloodsucking demons.
This guy is a liar and so are you.
These sanctions are against Individuals and companies affiliated with zanupf.
Zanupf is the ruling party in zimbabwe since independence.
They are responsible for the failed economy, political violence, large diaspora, and hopelessness.
They are the only wealthy people in the country they destroyed
Note that this was hard to share becos all id data went blank aftsr watching - hard from nz to work around 2 find it again
@@kudzinduru6411 You sound like a bloody liar if you expect anybody to think that western sanctions do not destroy targeted economies. And why should whites be living like kings and blacks like rats in their own country? They are lucky that the population didn't go the route of revenge and genocide because it was through genocide that these invaders took over their great country in the first place.
@@sonofman9404 no. you are the liar. this video is just socialist propaganda. Zimbabwe has been poorly run since independence, and its citizens do not like the ruling political party. it has destroyed their lives, they're futures, and only high ranking members of the party benefit from its activities... know that you support thieves and murderers
Well said. Hands off Zimbabwe, hands off Africa, hands off the global South!
The global south is about to starve, the war in Ukraine could kill between 100 million to 1 billion
If we have done that then Rhodesia would still exist
@@dutchskyrimgamer.youtube2748 Continued existence of Rhodesia could have caused lots of bloodshed. I respect Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe..at least their president had the balls to do what is right not like here in Kenya where some few white people still own over 100k acres of land which they inherited from their grandparents who were British 'war veterans'
Most of Zimbabwe's problems currently stems from corruption, greed and incompetence. Sanctions from US only affects those very corrupt politicians, not the entire country. Zimbabwe surely cannot rely on just the US for its prosperity? There is plenty of countries to trade with, and besides, most African countries criticise the western countries, especially the ones historically involved with colonisation. So why do Zimbabwe want to trade with them in the first place? Zimbabweans should put their money where their mouth is, and sanction UK and US, and trade with eastern countries or Russia, If you hate US, don't trade with them or expect them to trade with you. It takes two to be in a relationship.
France did something similar to Haiti by demanding that Haiti remunerate France for the land and income lost when Haitians overthrew the plantation owners and gained their emancipation. I.e., punishing them for their liberation from slavery. Such greed. Haiti's been paying to this day, one of the reasons for its poverty, in addition to US political and economic interference.
The US 🇺🇸 and France 🇫🇷 are the biggest sponsors of destabilization going on Haiti right right now. Eventually, sooner or later, the chicken 🐔 would come home to roost with these nations terrorizing defenceless nations all across the civilised world
People are making excuses for Haiti after 220 years of independence, the country is still in a mess
@@nobs997 Messed up by western Imperialists, especially the US and France
@@XY-rh3if You are going to waste another generation complaining and playing victim, no body is stopping Haiti from fixing their country at least in the past 50 years
@@nobs997 How will they be able to when your Imperialist government recently orchestrated an assassination against their democratically elected leader for the selfish interests of the Imperialists. Hasn't the US finally find a way to be their now for some selfish and Imperialist Interests? Aren't you aware of the havoc France and the US wrecked in that country for years until date? Do your research please and stay away from western, including US governments and media propaganda against US government victims around the world
The same Imperialists who flooded the country with gangsters so they can find an excuse to gain access into the country, they're the same ones who orchestrated an assassination against Haiti's democratically elected president recently. Their goal is to install a stuge whom they could control for selfish and Imperialist Interest. And yes, Haiti does have a part to play as well in building their country, but western Imperialists including France and the US keeps intruding.
Instead of going to meet Biden the african countries should have stated only after sanctions on Zimbabwe are lifted
They could have gone even further than that. They could have demanded that the US and France remove all economic and military forces from the African continent before any summit could take place. Or would that be too much of a demand to make at this point in time?
African leaders who accepted the invitation from Biden USA...they are stupid and blind leaders😭😭
Spine. They would need to have one to do so. Mugabe did, but alone, he was easy to crush. United, the African leaders could gain the continent true liberation.
@@vitaminq4348 How do you unite compromised puppets who shamelessly lick the white man's boots?
And it's not only Zimbabwe, Eritrea too is sanction and for me that is a criminal act by the corrupt criminals of the global North. They will surely fall one day.
Thank you for this coverage! I had no idea there had been sanctions on Zimbabwe for 21 years! And yet all I hear from Western commentators is how bad the Zimbabwe economy is and that it is all the fault of Mugabe! No mentions of the sanctions! The lies drive me crazy! The West is more concerned with property rights than human rights! Zimbabwe must be free from sanctions! Keep up the good work and maybe do a longer video on how the West ruined Zimbabwe and other countries around the world.
So people getting killed and driven off their country with all their belongings isn't human rights?
This is nothing new the US and France especially are called the bully of the world for a reason,they cripple economies in many countries around the world and then blame them for been poor .
@Octoberfurst: "White property rights" not "property rights" in general. The west makes that distinction all the time, and is rarely called out on it.
There isn't. Its against the leaders not the country.
The whole of Mother Africa must unite together and ensure justice peace and prosperity for every citizen . The colonial countries should all be thrown out immediately and forcefully .
Turned out really good for Zimbabwe didn't it? Still having famines and blackouts?😂
@@Bolognabeef either way they should get out. At least I can say it turned out good for African countries like bostwana.
@@Bolognabeef you think famine is hilarious?
@@Bolognabeef so under colonialist we'll have no famines in Africa??!
@@Bolognabeef it was actually worst for Africans under colonialism,the only reason why Zimbabwe is struggling to develop is because of the heavy sanction from the US
The problem is that like with most issues, it is difficult to get through the corporate propaganda.
- Al Jazeera is just a neocolonial outfit, spreading the British line on Zimbabwe.
- Landreform scares the European aristocracy, because land ownership is the basis of their power.
- They are afraid of successful landreform in Zimbabwe, because it would set a positive example for their own population.
Basically the British government had an agreement with the Zimbabwean government called the Willing Buyer, Willing Seller landreform program. The Zimbabwean government was supposed to pay for improvements made to the land (wells, roads, storage facilities, etc.) and the British government for the value of the land itself. It was never going to work, because it depended on bits and pieces of land becoming available at whatever prices the landowners would ask for it.
In November 1997, Clare Short in Tony Blair's government put in the final nail, when they publicly declared they would not hold up their end of the deal.
Clare Short, Secretary of State for International Development at the DfID, November 1997:
"I should make it clear that we do not accept that Britain has a special responsibility to meet the costs of land purchase in Zimbabwe. We are a new Government from diverse backgrounds without links to former colonial interests. My own origins are Irish and as you know we were colonised, not colonizers."
So Clare Short thought that an international agreement between two states was a gift to the Zimbabwean government by former colonials who felt guilty?
Anyway, when there is an international agreement between 2 states, and one states withdraws from it or decides to just no longer abide by it, the other state has no obligation to continue with it.
So the Zimbabwean government was in the right. And these sanctions are illegal.
Years ago, the damage to the Zimbabwean economy by economic sanctions was estimated at $42 billion. It must be a lot more today, well over $60 billion I would guess.
It is time they were compensated for it.
Very funny how you didn't mention the $388 millions the US gave to Zimbabwe in form of grants in the 80s, or the fact that Mugabe literally committed a genocide (Gukurahundi) or that Rhodesia endured global sanctions (yes, from EU, UK, USA, USSR, China...) And still managed to grow economically. How funny and convenient. And the damage you're referring to is estimated by a Zimbabwean newspaper and is about Mugabe's rule, and it's$38 bln btw
@@Bolognabeef Funny how you conveniently overlook the key takeaway of that comment: the colonizers admitted their obligation to reparate Zimbabwe for their part in disenfranchising the majority on a racial basis and THEN reneged on it.
You're giving off strong ex-Rhody vibes chum. Wouldn't be surprised if you're an unhappy former beneficiary.
Well told Comrade 🙏
Raping, stealing, and killing white farmers that purchased the land after independence is thievery. That is why sanctions are there - that thievery must be punished and fixed, before trust can be restored.
Thank you for telling the truth to the world...
This is not the truth.
It's a horrible lie

I am from Zimbabwe and struggle explaining the situation in Zimbabwe to Europeans. Can you make a bigger series or longer video explaining Zimbabwe?
Just watching this short video is enough to make anybody understand the real situation in Africa.
Ther people like rutendo who explain it in longer form
@@happyguy2k True, and I totally appreciate his work and that of Dr Arikana. Unfortunately we still have young political leaders still worshipping every thing White and make un-ending trips to the Anglo-Saxon capitals to seek stiffer sanctions.
What gets me is that they wonder why they are not getting into power.
The country has an institutional memory.

I am an African and any blame that does not include our leadership is biased. Mugabe used the "land repossession" to further his political career and nobody wants to admit that
I have no words to properly denounce the US Government.
@ Boyd Gilbreath. Try … bestial, evil, predatory, execrable, malignant, repulsive … but you’re right. Even these words do not adequately describe the nature of US.
I do, but the words are probably blacklisted.

Zimbabwe must take advantage of the sanctions and accelerate cooperation with China and Russia and join the BRICS block of nations assert her sovereignty after all the shift in the Global International system points to Global South, America and it's Western Allies of imperialism has nothing to offer Zimbabwe but to undermine it's developmental growth.
China already owns Zimbabwe
And Russias got nu.erous mining concessions
@@waylunnakar You are wrong, Zimbabweans now own Zimbabwe. And fortunately because of USA sanctions Zimbabwe has external debt of below $15 billion. Just find out how much is USA owes externally and you will be amazed. America is dying - a slow painful death!!!
@@not.likely No they don't. Zimbabweans own more than 90% of the mines. Most self employed males are now small scale or artisanal gold miners now. Russian presence is negligible in Zimbabwean commerce.

As a Zimbabwean i was carefully listening and waiting for incorrect infor....you nailed it...keep up the good work...
Zimbabwe is essential as a resource for electrolyser technology, known as a proton exchange membrane (PEM) system. “the energy transition will be built with metals.” That is true not only for the obvious high-volume commodities such as steel, copper, and lithium, but also for lesser-known metals such as iridium.
But companies’ plans for green hydrogen projects suggest there will be a steep increase in demand over the coming decade. Meeting just the EU’s goals for green hydrogen production could by 2030 lead to demand for iridium for electrolysers that is several times current global supply.
The Biden administration has acknowledged that supplies of platinum group metals (PGMs), including iridium, were a critical issue for the development of the low-carbon hydrogen industry that was endorsed in the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed last year.
President Joe Biden last month issued a series of executive orders invoking powers under the 1950 Defense Production Act to stimulate production of clean energy technologies, including electrolysers and PGMs. The administration’s statement argued that support for PGM catalysts “will enhance national and energy security by reducing US reliance on imported fossil fuels, particularly Russia and China.”
The US energy secretary, this week announced a new partnership with Australia, intended to accelerate progress towards a net-zero emissions energy system. The two governments’ joint statement highlighted “the crucial role critical minerals and materials will play in the energy transition” and in enabling the deployment of technologies including telecommunications, Ai, space exploration, and Tesla type gravity engines !World iridium supply is currently dominated by South Africa, as a by-product of platinum and palladium production. South Africa accounts for 87% of global iridium production, with a further 8% coming from Zimbabwe and 3% each from Russia and Canada, according to the US Geological Survey.Haitis supply which is illegally mined to keep the nation porr is not mentioned but the UN security forces currently guard irridum mines from use by Haitian nationals. South Africa also has the great bulk of the world’s PGM reserves: about 91%, followed by Russia with about 6%, Zimbabwe with about 2% and the US with about 1%, again according to the USGS. The green tech industry is aiming to grow rapidly, and a materials supply chain that is rooted almost entirely in southern Africa looks like a critical vulnerability that the west wants to exploit by starving Zimbabwe and offering them pennies so they can steal billions.
Melany Vargas, Wood Mackenzie’s head of Americas hydrogen consulting, said: “From an energy security perspective, there is certainly the potential for disruption to supplies that would be a constraint on the growth of green hydrogen production.”Meaning they are looking for ways to cause unrest and steal the resource before it can be sold. The likely increase in demand for platinum looks manageable, but iridium could be much more of a challenge. Total world iridium production this year will be about 255,000 ounces, Irridiums price on the world market is currently 45 billion per ton. Is iridium more expensive than gold? Iridium, which is also used in spark plugs, has climbed to $6,000 an ounce, according to Johnson Matthey Plc data. That makes it more than three times more expensive than gold.
I am a Zimbabwean and a Pan Afrikan. Great cover of historical colonial injustices. What is evidently clear and sad is the fact that the West bullied my country for trying to correct a historical imbalance they created through colonialism. Ours is a struggle for self determination based off land, because land is the fundamental vehicle behind all economic processes. Land is the source of life. Land is literally God. These sanctions have a ripple effect on my country's economic psych as evidenced by millions who have fled the country because of economic hardships.
Another sad point is how the West is utterly committed to systematic oppression and imperialism using access to credit and international trade as weapons, something Western audiences have no idea how this plays out in countries they oppress, with democracy and religion as tools of cultural imperialism.
@mambonashe8707: I live in the US and the most of the few whites who know anything about southern Africa believe that whites are the rightful landowners of that entire region. They hold black Africans in contempt and believe that white oppression is a favor. You cannot blame it on the members of the elite when white people at all levels of society share the same views.
China is now investing in Zimbabwe and historically treats the African nations fairly.
yes cooperation with China has brought the trades, infrastructures , technology , clean energy developments to africa incl Zimbabwe.
That has made uS mad n summoned african leaders recently to washington for a summit meeting .
@@nanyanguo1 I AM disappointed that these African leaders decided to meet the evil war mongers in their own land. They should've insist the meeting take place in their land, somewhere in Africa, AND THEN BOYCOTT AND NOT SHOW UP!
My country Malaysia traded with China since two thousand years ago, China never colonized us. When they wanted something from us, they traded with us. In 1511 the Portuguese came, in 1642 the Dutch came, in 1786 the British came, we were colonized by each, one after another. Today China is still our important trading partner, and our win-win relationship is still going strong.
@@zeissiez yes and this is a very important pc of info. Western evil war mongers wants to keep pushing the narrative that China is bullying all its neighbors.
@@peanut0brain We do have border disputes with China in the South China Sea. But it’s a multinational dispute involving many countries: Malaysia-China, China-Vietnam, Vietnam-Malaysia, Malaysia-Philippines, Philippines-China. But Western mainstream media always portrayed the dispute as “China vs the rest”. The US even told our leaders to fight China, which is crazy, why should we fight China and sacrifice our own benefits?

Those sanctions were also a message to Zimbabwe's southern neighbor South Africa
It's a "we will turn you into another Zimbabwe... if you dare touch that land and those mines"
That's why European invaders(white people) still own 80% of SA economy and 75% of our land
Thank you for this beautiful reporting 🇿🇦
Kenya's former president tried to advocate for them publicly but our country was threatened with the same severe sanctions. So we just found a roundabout way to trade with them in exchange for gold and using the Chinese Yuan as a transaction currency. I think the Chinese are currently trading with them and developing their infrastructure for gold as well. If many more countries did this, then the harsh effects would be greatly eased for a lot of unfairly sanctioned countries. Yet the West is asking why many developing countries are tilting towards China. It's because of these sanctions that China is becoming a lifeline for a lot of condemned countries right now. I hope BRICS succeeds so the developing countries can have a strong alternative for trade and development.
This is why African countries are beginning to ally themselves with Eastern powers.
Well spoken! No one else could have told a better truth!
Wow! Took the words right out of my mouth. 100%🎯🇿🇼

It's seriously frustrating see the leaders crossing Atlantic ocean to meet their oppressors to make decisions for them. Rest in peace Mugabe, you dehumanised for stand up for your country. You bow down until your grave, which most of Africans leaders are subjugate to.
Yes it is humiliating indeed. It should've went this way: Insist the meeting with the war monger take place on African soil, then boycott & NOT SHOW UP! That's a BIG middle FINGER!
Support to Zimbabwe from Serbia!
Thank you for talking truth and sense about these histories! It would be great to see a series that goes through the historical context of other countries sanctioned/embargoed by the USA (I know, it'll be a long series!), and also the history of some of these laws such as the papal bulls of 1452 and 1493, terra nullius and the doctrine of manifest destiny that were used to justify the sorts of colonial and imperial atrocities that Zimbabwe and most of the global south suffered and still remain today as the base for the current stage of colonialism.
I'm from Zimbabwe and I'm surprised how sanctions can affect our buying of equipment but not GD6 cars and even bigger expensive cars.
I trying to dispel the premise you actually built a very good argument against sanctions. That's exactly how they work, liabilities are made easy to be available. It's how consumerism builds western countries whilst capital goods are not there in that country.
NEVER FORGET WHO YOUR ENEMIES ARE.
Sanctions are corporal punishment
For ordinary Zimbabwean children.
Very wicked
Its not true. Stop believing it.
Very impressed and very rare that a white journalist tells the truth about Zimbabwe. I am black American and the only thing you said wrong was western domination of just Africa when it's the western or white domination of black man on the planet. My ancestors endured 246 years of slavery.
🥲🥲🥲
And while we did get some social justice we NEVER got economic justice the economic cost of slavery and Jim Crow was just overlooked , ignored....the homes , businesses , property , etc we were cheated and scammed out of was never paid back. Black cities and towns burned to the ground , demolished or flooded and made into lakes . All stolen with no compensation. Not to mention black inventions that were stolen and history rewritten to hide the theft. Just for example How Jack Daniels was taught the art of making liquor by a slave.
Excellent, concise history and explanation of a long-lasting, and often ignored plight of African people. Thank you.
Babylon must fall... It's time to come out of this wicked system
The US doesn't have to trade with Zimbabwe if it doesn't want to.
Ok so then just fucking leave
Quite right

Nicely summed up " It's about racism colonialism and theft."
Thank you very much young man! You are 100% right. Shame to the US and its allies on their stance on Zimbabwe.
the evil empire must be destroyed.
The history in a nutshell is very profound and the truth speaks out and stall tall. Never will any system, democracy or idiocrasy will ever overcome. Truth must continue to flourish the earth.
Thank you for nothing but the pure truth that the media never talks about
“Thus, although the whites seized vast amounts of land in Zimbabwe, Africans there cultivated more of their own land than they had before the European conquests.”
“Introduction,” Colonialism in Africa 1870-1960, edited by Peter Duignan and L.H. Gann, Volume IV: The Economics of Colonialism, p.11
Well said. I’m truly grateful you shared this as this outlines how us as Africans we are tired of being treated unfairly and with this it has forced our hand to make trade with other countries such as china because they treat us fairly
God bless Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 ❤️
A great piece, for once foreign media not ridiculing Zimbabwe. I hope this goes viral
As black .. our softness is out weakness.. don’t forgive and don’t forget.
Hold on Zimbabwe 🇿🇼- the global order is changing ; thus come your liberation from the oppressors
So one is punished severely for taking what originally belonged to him. Zimbabwe is done dirty like this as a lesson to other African countries like South Africa that if you do it you done for.
Thank you, but It's not like the world does not know this truth, the question is what is being done about it. The only people who deny it is the yt people ,especially those who left Zim. The only way to help Zimbabwe is to join or support the Zimbabwe anti sanctions movement. Thank you
Land is important , were living for past 21 years and we will continue with the Grace of GOD to survive
Some Zimbabweans who are hoodwinked by the opposition can find this as bitter pill to swallow but this is true though. I always say this since the inception of both sanctions and the western sponsored regime
It's quite sad. That's why there shouldn't be a unipolar world. China must continue to rival the US. This will certainly give everyone options instead of always going to beg the US.
Thank you for telling the truth.

The most unjust sanctions in the world....and yet Zimbabwe is so beautiful and the most peaceful people you'll come across. Unbelievable that this is continuing
Excellent presentation. Thank you..
Wow this was a eye opener. Subscribed immediately.
Aa a Zimbabwean. Leave our country alone. What's America's problem. You wanted us to remain slaves? We will build Zimbabwe regardless.
Good stuff,thanks for saying how it is.
Thanks BT!
Zimbabwe isn't obligated to uphold or protect US interests. Zimbabwe has her own needs & interests to pursue and protect. If the US doesn't like it? That's their problem.
Painful truth.
Imperialism at its worst
The people who built Great Zimbabwe are no idiots. They are resilient, evident by the life that continues in that country despite the heavy and unnecessary sanctions.
Why would you go from a stone structure to a mud hut in only.a few hundred years?????.?? Darwin’s theory of evolution in reverse!! Exactly idiots could not build those structures they employed idiots run by wisdom.
❤, the old capital😂
Hey wait, with the recent polarization in the global geopolitical arena, surrounding the Russia-Ukraine war, shouldn't Zimbabwe leverage on that to sort of curcumvent the sanctions ? Zimbawe needs more calculating leaders 🤔🤔🤔
Correct,sanctions are all about hegemony and nothing else. It’s sad how Zimbabwe is sanctioned yet Saudi Arabia gets away with far worse things like public floggings,public beheadings,apostasy laws,committing a genocide in Yemen and yet Zimbabwe has not executed any person since 2004 as they oppose death penalty,let alone behead anyone for religious reasons like Saudis. Zimbabwe is not committing a genocide on any of its neighbours,but they want to punish it so they can install a puppet regime to control its precious minerals like Platinum,chrome,lithium etc. It’s all about money and not constitution.
So nicely put out, would be nice to find out your process in video making
Well said, I hope Africa can read these things and unite
No one said the good guys won WW2. - Brick man

Pure wickedness ..
This is very true about sanctions but let's not forget about the millions of people killed by the brutal murderous regime as well as rampant corruption that also pushed Zimbabwe back. The current Zim government ain't clean either
