The U.S. put sanctions on Zimbabwe for taking away the settlers' land? And upholds them to this day?
I didn't know about that. Yet another evil deed done by the empire...
In 2001, after the government of the late Robert Mugabe seized vast swathes of farmland from minority white settlers of European extract under a land reform programme aimed at addressing colonial land distribution imbalances, the US congress passed the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act (ZDERA) which makes it US policy to oppose IMF, World Bank, and any other multilateral financing for Zimbabwe until land is returned to the white farmers. In 2003, President George Bush’s administration went further to impose a raft of punitive measures against individuals and business entities in Zimbabwe. These sanctions have largely been maintained over the past two and a half decades with various updates and alterations.
