A minimum of USD $150 billion in reparations is required to repair the damage caused by illegal unilateral sanctions and to transform Zimbabweโs economy and the lives of its people.
1). ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ก๐
Zimbabwe is endowed with abundant rare and critical minerals that are in high global demand.
When Zimbabwe repossessed its ancestral land and reclaimed an economy that was in foreign hands, the Western world retaliated with brutal, punitive, and illegal unilateral sanctions
These sanctions have cost lives, a silent genocide on their own, displaced millions, and blocked Zimbabweโs development.
Zimbabweโs resources must first be harnessed to build a stronger domestic economy before any engagement with those seeking to exclude Zimbabwe from global economic activity.
On 25 October 2023, SADC Anti-Sanctions Day, the Vice President Hon Constantino Chiwenga stated that Zimbabwe has been prejudiced of more than $150 billion in lost investment due to sanctions. The money that must be recovered.
