  • Canada Sanctions Zimbabwe

    Canada Sanctions Zimbabwe

    Canadian Sanctions and Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe: Be Very Careful! By Mark Blumberg (January 7, 2009) Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe need to be extremely careful. It is not the place for a new and inexperienced charity to begin foreign operations. In fact, only Canadian charities with substantial experience in difficult international operations should even consider operating in Zimbabwe. It is one of the most difficult countries to carry out charitable operations by virtue of the very difficult political, security, human rights and economic situation and the resultant Canadian and international sanctions. This article will set out some information on the Zimbabwe Sanctions including the full text of the Act and Regulations governing the sanctions. It is not a bad idea when dealing with difficult legal issues to consult knowledgeable legal advisors. Summary On September 4, 2008, the Special Economic Measures (Zimbabwe) Regulations (SOR/2008-248) (the “Regulations”) came into force pursuant to subsections 4(1) to (3) of the Special Economic Measures Act. The Canadian sanctions against Zimbabwe are targeted sanctions dealing with weapons, technical support for weapons, assets of designated persons, and Zimbabwean aircraft landing in Canada. There is no humanitarian exception to these targeted sanctions. There are tremendous practical difficulties working in Zimbabwe and if a Canadian charity decides to continue operating in Zimbabwe it is important that the Canadian charity and its intermediaries (eg. Agents, contractor, partners) avoid providing any benefits, “directly or indirectly”, to a “designated person”. Canadian charities need to undertake rigorous due diligence and risk management to ensure that a “designated person” does not financially benefit from the program.

  • Article a Very Zimbabwean Coup

    Article a Very Zimbabwean Coup

    Article A very Zimbabwean coup: November 13-24, 2017 David Moore [email protected] Abstract Toward the end of 2017 Robert Mugabe was convinced by members of his own party and leaders of the military to retire from his 37 year presidency of Zimbabwe. That one report called the process hastening his departure an ‘unexpected but peaceful transition’ suggests that what more impartial observers call a coup nonetheless had special characteristics softening its military tenor. This exploratory article discusses some of the particularities of this ‘coup of a special type’, as well as considering the new light it shines on the political history of Zimbabwe, the party ruling it since 1980, and their future. The title of the novel A Very British Coup (authored in 1982 by a Bennite Labour politician who in 2003-5 became British Minister for Africa, and later made into two television series – Mullin 1982, Gallagher 2009:440) reminds us that just as every country’s politics has its particularities so too do their coups. Coups are a variant of Clausewitz’s dictum (come to think of it, Gramsci’s too – Moore 2014b) about the continuum of coercion and consent in the processes constituting one of humankind’s oldest professions. When accompanied by d’état the word indicates a quick and often forceful change of people governing in a state. The successful protagonists are usually rooted in the military. The state remains relatively intact and unchanged, as do the deeper social and economic structures on which it sits, condensing, reflecting, and refracting them while it ostensibly rules.

    Negotiated Government in Zimbabwe-Tool for Peaceful Co-Existence Or Momentary Suppression of Inherent Divisions?

    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 5 No 25 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy November 2014 Negotiated Government in Zimbabwe-Tool for Peaceful Co-existence or Momentary Suppression of Inherent Divisions? Ms Petra Chinyere Mulungushi University, Zambia [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n25p73 Abstract This paper assesses the effectiveness of the Government of National Unity (GNU) in Zimbabwe in fostering peaceful co- existence among traditional rival political parties which were the parties to the agreement that established the unity government. It is mainly based on documentary research, referring to available information on the four year period that the GNU ruled the country, followed up by some views from fellow academics on the subject. The point of departure is the historical background to the formation of the GNU and the modalities surrounding its establishment, then the analysis of what really achieved. The paper argues that the GNU was an inevitable arrangement that was done as a transitional mechanism to rescue the country from total collapse after the 2008 electoral violence that the country had plunged into which could have degenerated into a civil war. The GNU managed to sustain the peace deal that they signed and to calm the political situation in the country to give a peaceful environment even after its lifespan among the parties that fought in 2008, but it brought to the fore the concealed, inherent divisions and intra-party fighting that the Movement for Democratic Change Tsvangirai faction (MDC-T) has been accused of previously. The paper concludes by arguing that the GNU deal was successful in achieving peaceful co-existence among warring factions along the political divide but it still failed to take into consideration the views of the masses since it was an elite contract.

The theme of succession, both of the State Presidency and the leadership of ZANU PF, increasingly bedevils all matters relating to the political stability of Zimbabwe and any form of transition to democracy. The constitutional issues related to the death (or infirmity) of the President have been dealt with in several reports by the Research and Advocacy Unit (RAU). If ZANU PF is to select the nominee to replace Robert Mugabe, as the state constitution presently requires, several problems need to be considered. The ZANU PF nominee ought to be selected in terms of the ZANU PF constitution.

    Government Steps up Stranglehold on Media Market

    The Media Monitoring Project Zimbabwe Monday February 1st – Sunday February 8th 2010 Weekly Media Review 2010-4 Contents 1. Comment 2. The week’s most popular stories 3. Missing stories 4. Human Rights Reports COMMENT Government steps up stranglehold on media market News in the week that government was forging ahead with plans to launch a second state television channel while making no effort to licence private broadcasters provided more worrying evidence of the authorities’ disdain for the media reforms they agreed to under the Global Political Agreement (GPA). It also underlines the authorities’ determination to hang onto and entrench their monopoly on the broadcast sector despite a 2000 Supreme Court ruling declaring this monopoly unconstitutional. Article 19 (1) of the GPA directs the coalition to “ensure the immediate processing by the appropriate authorities of all (print and broadcast) applications for…registration” in terms of the law. But more than a year after its signing, no new independent broadcasters or newspapers have been registered because of the paralytic pace of promised media reforms. For example, besides the inordinate delays in establishing the Zimbabwe Media Council (ZMC) and the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe (BAZ) due to political bickering and political manipulation in the selection of board members, the coalition clearly appears to be no hurry to ensure that the two media regulatory bodies become operational so that they can get down to work. Now ironically, while prospective private media players wait anxiously for this excessive bureaucratic process to be finalised, ZTV (5/2, 8pm) reported Information Minister Webster Shamu announcing ZBC’s completion of the digitalisation of its second channel, TV2, which he said was now “ready” to kick-start programming as soon as it gets the go-ahead from the BAZ and Transmedia, the national signal carrier.

    Political Violence Report November 2001

    ZIMBABWE HUMAN RIGHTS NGO FORUM POLITICAL VIOLENCE REPORT NOVEMBER 2001 December 2001 A report by the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Summary Attacks on farm workers residing on invaded farms, ongoing since the end of February 2000, were reported to the Human Rights Forum in November. Since January this year, more than 70 000 farm workers have been displaced and countless others have been beaten and tortured whilst others lost their homes in arson attacks. Once again the ZRP was been found wanting in its protection and reaction to violations concerning farm workers and MDC supporters. In one recorded case, policemen in Kadoma arrived at the local Zanu-PF offices and witnessed the torture of two MDC members but left without rendering assistance. However 14 MDC members were arrested for the murder of Bulawayo war veteran’s chairman, Cain Nkala. In Harare members of the ZRP unlawfully arrested and tortured two MDC officials from Zengeza, accusing them of having had some involvement in Cain Nkala’s murder, despite their being in Harare at the time. The two were released without being charged having been interrogated about the operations of their party. Six deaths were recorded in November. A list of all deaths that have been reported since January 2001 is given at the end of the report.

The study, thus, compares the textuality of Zimbabwean printed news reports from the English newspapers (The Herald, Zimbabwe Independent and Newsday), the Shona newspaper (Kwayedza) and the Ndebele newspaper (Umthunywa) during the period from January 2010 to August 2012. The period represents an interesting epoch in the country’s political landscape. It is a period characterized by a power- sharing government, a political situation that has highly polarized the media and as such, media stances in relation to either of the two major parties to the unity government, the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) and the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T).
