  • 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.

  • Drought and the Politics of Hunger
    CCK- 10 INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS Drought and the politics of hunger Casey Kelso #2 Wakefield Lodge Wakefield Road, Avondale Harare, Zimbabwe August 5, 1992 Peter Bird Martin Institute of Current World Affairs 4 West Wheel ock Street Hanover, New Hampshire 03755 Dear Peter: In the notoriously poor Zambezi Valley of northern Zimbabwe, people now eat a murky brown porridge of baobab fruit and silt sifted from dry river beds. The most severe drought of the century in Southern Africa has destroyed their harvests. Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has declared a national emergency and promised that no one will starve, but many people are going hungry. Some of the worst suffering is in the valley's holiday resort town of Kariba, but out of sight from the tourist hotels. About 250 families live in a shantytown on the outskirts of town, where they were dumped during the government's "clean up" frenzy before last year's commonwealth summit here. Locals call the squatter camp "Tatambura," which means "we suffer hardship" in the local Shona language. Others call it "Baghdad," after Iraq's bombed-out capital. Newcomers from the countryside crouch in cardboard shelters alongside the ramshackle "permanent" shacks of wood and corrugated tin. Twelve filthy toilets serve the community of 3,000 people. Flu and diarrhoea are rampant. Desperation shows in the faces of settlement residents. Although many squatters are employed as domestic laborers or work in the fish processing factories on the shores of Lake Kariba, they don't earn enough money to buy food at fast-rising prices.

  • Zimbabwe at a Glance: 2001-02
    COUNTRY REPORT Zimbabwe At a glance: 2001-02 OVERVIEW Zimbabwe will continue to suffer the most serious political and economic crisis in its 20-year history, and it now appears increasingly unlikely that the president, Robert Mugabe, will finish his current term which runs until April 2002. The EIU currently expects the MDC to call an extended national strike early in 2001, which will worsen an already poor economic situation and is likely to turn into such widespread protest that the president will be forced to resign. But there is a very real possibility that the protests could run out of control and turn extremely violent. Meanwhile the economy will remain in a steep downward spiral, with negative real GDP growth of 6.1% in 2000 and 3.3% in 2002, a huge fiscal deficit, rapidly rising inflation and a falling exchange rate. Moreover, the economy could be damaged in the long term as a result of the current “fast-track” land resettlement policy. The downward spiral is only likely to be broken after Mr Mugabe has left office, real reforms are introduced and external assistance is resumed. Modest real GDP growth of 1.8% is forecast for 2001. Key changes from last month Political outlook • The political situation continues to deteriorate as the government increasingly ignores court rulings. Economic policy outlook • The minister of finance presented the 2001 budget in parliament. It fails to address the real root of the huge fiscal deficit and highlights his political weakness. Economic forecast • The budget deficit for 2000 is now forecast at 28.4% of GDP.

  • Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Political Violence Report: April 2003 OVERVIEW
    ZIMBABWE HUMAN RIGHTS NGO FORUM POLITICAL VIOLENCE REPORT: APRIL 2003 24 May 2003 A report by the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Political Violence Report: April 2003 OVERVIEW The Parliamentary by-elections held in Kuwadzana and Highfield on 29 and 30 March 2003 resulted in organised violence and torture (OVT) within the two areas persisting as civilians, ZANU PF and MDC supporters reportedly descended on and victimised each other for allegedly voting for one political party and not another. Of the political parties in the Zimbabwean political arena, only members from the ruling ZANU PF and the opposition MDC were identified as being victims and perpetrators of political violence during the run up to and the period following the by-elections. Coupled with the MDC mass stay away on 18 and 19 March 2003, as well as the ZCTU mass stay- away on 23 - 25 April 2003, the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum documented a number of politically motivated violations for the month of April. In one case, Richard Munthuli of Bulawayo allegedly grabbed and raped a woman as she passed through the Davies Hall. He allegedly raped her because he was not pleased with the by - election results in Kuwadzana and Highfield, in which the opposition MDC won the two contested seats. ZANU PF youths allegedly arrived at the home of one MDC election agent for Kuwadzana claiming to be policemen, broke down the door, and assaulted the victim and his wife on allegations of voting for the opposition MDC in the parliamentary by-election.
