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.

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.
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.

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.
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 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
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
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.

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.
This isn’t the truth and you know it god you don’t know what you are talking about and nope the USA didn’t have slavery for 200 years read a book next time

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.
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
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.

@@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
Spot on, let Zimbabwe be free and grow !!
As a Zimbabwean, I feel sanctions are not a major reason why our economy is not growing but rather our own internal incompetencies.
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.
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.
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.
@@mobydick5046 the reports say 90% of Zimbabweans are unemployed. But what % of Zimbabweans are mine artisans, can you advise?
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.
Like the river to the sea Africa will be free. Zimbabwe will be free politically, economically and socially. Aluta Continua!
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.
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?
Here in South Africa as soon as the land issue is mentioned, protests start breaking out or some crisis occurs. It’s really ruthless what the western countries are doing to our neighbours including our country.
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
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
It’s not you people are delusional and liars. Read a book.
Thank you for putting it all together this way.
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.
Well spoken! No one else could have told a better truth!

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.
Wow none of that is true. You know it you clearly don’t know history. This video is wrong. Nothing said about it is true or right you don’t know what sanctions mean just means that country can’t trade with you. They can trade with other countries read a book. They are not bad
The undeniable truth
Thank you very much young man! You are 100% right. Shame to the US and its allies on their stance on Zimbabwe.
Thank you for telling the truth.
Excellent, concise history and explanation of a long-lasting, and often ignored plight of African people. Thank you.
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.
This isn’t the truth and you know it god you don’t know what you are talking about and nope the USA didn’t have slavery for 200 years read a book next time
As black .. our softness is out weakness.. don’t forgive and don’t forget.

This makes me sick
Makes you an idiot.
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
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.
They should dump the dollar
what an amazing presentation
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.
