  • 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.

Dr Obert Moses Mpofu has achieved both dimensions. With wanton disregard for the boundaries of a “single story”, Mpofu’s submission represents a construction of the struggle for Zimbabwe with the immediacy and novelty of a participant. Added to this, Dr Mpofu’s academic approach, and the Leaders for Africa Network Readers’ (LAN) interest, the synergy was inevitable. Mpofu’s contribution, which philosophically situates Zimbabwe’s contemporary politics and socio-economic landscape, embodies LAN Readers’ dedication to knowledge generation and, by extension, scientific growth.

  • India Zimbabwe Relations
    India Zimbabwe Relations India and Zimbabwe have a long history of close and cordial relations. During the era of the Munhumutapa Kingdom, Indian merchants established strong links with Zimbabwe, trading in textiles, minerals and metals. Sons of the royal house of Munhumutapa journeyed to India to broaden their education. In the 17th century, a great son of Zimbabwe, Dom Miguel – Prince, Priest and Professor, and heir to the imperial throne of the Mutapas – studied in Goa. An inscribed pillar stands today at a chapel in Goa, a tribute to his intellectual stature. India supported Zimbabwe’s freedom struggle. Former Prime Minister Smt.

  • The Global Quest for Tranquillitas Ordinis
    09_ZULU ok_pp_119-136.QXD_Layout 1 12/02/13 15:03 Pagina 119 The Global Quest for Tranquillitas Ordinis. Pacem in Terris, Fifty Years Later Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, Acta 18, 2013 www.pass.va/content/dam/scienzesociali/pdf/acta18/acta18-zulu.pdf The Global Quest For Tranquillitas Ordinis: Africa’s Contribution To Pacem In Terris Paulus Zulu* 1. Introduction This paper examines Africa’s contribution to the global quest for tran- quillitas ordinis (tranquillity in the social order) with particular emphasis on the role of African continental and regional organisations in promoting pacem in terris (peace on earth).The paper explores the role of African organisations both continental and regional especially in solving problems that have beset the continent in the postcolonial era. The context is the turmoil in Africa particularly in the new millennium, where governance could broadly be described as not in the interest of citizens and changes or expected changes in government have been accompanied by violence, bloodshed and large- scale displacement of citizens who have turned refugees in states neigh- bouring the epicentres of violence. What is also noteworthy, and needs exploring, is the development of a concept of a government of national unity in Africa. This is a concept which is hardly neutral given the circum- stances under which it arises and the resistance of African leaders to relin- quish political office despite the purported popular elections. What appears to be the inherent tenacity of dictatorial regimes is also a factor to be con- sidered when making propositions for a government of national unity.

  • ZPP Monthly Monitor in Politics
    Factionalism ZPP Monthly Monitor in Politics BACKGROUND & FORMATION The Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) was conceived shortly after 2000 by a group of Churches and NGOs working or interested in human rights and peace-building initiatives, and was to become a vehicle for civic interventions in a time of political crisis. In particular ZPP sought to monitor and document incidents of human rights violations and politically motivated breaches of the peace e.g. violence. Today, ZPP’s co-operating member organizations include, Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC), Catholic Commission for Justice & Peace in Zimbabwe (CCJPZ), Evangelical fellowship of Zimbabwe (EFZ) Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN), Counselling Services Unit (CSU), Zimbabwe Civic Education Trust (ZIMCET), Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), Zimbabwe Human Rights Association (ZIMRIGHTS), Civic Education Network Trust (CIVNET), Women’s Coalition of Zimbabwe (WCoZ) and Habakkuk Trust. VISION A Zimbabwe where there is Peace, Justice, Dignity and Development for all. MISSION To work for sustainable peace through monitoring, documentation, advocacy and community peace building interventions with our members and partners. Information Department Information Zimbabwe Department Peace Project 1 22/06/2015 Zimbabwe Peace Project 24/04/2012 METHODOLOGY This report is based on reports from ZPP long-term community based human rights monitors who observe, monitor and record cases of human rights violations in the constituencies they reside.

  • Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 03/04/2020 4:00:00 PM
    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 03/04/2020 4:00:00 PM Dear Emma, Chris, and Meghan, This is former U.S. Senator David Vitter (R-LA). I am emailing to follow up on an important invitation you received recently from a significant foreign delegation which will be visiting Washington, DC soon. The group is the Political Action Dialogue, or POLAD, of Zimbabwe, led by Dr. Thokozani Khupe. It is a truly diverse and representative delegation comprised of 17 of the political parties of Zimbabwe. As such, it represents the vast majority of Zimbabwe citizens as well as the vast majority of opposition political parties, including leaders who put their lives on the line fighting for the ouster of the former tyrannical President Robert Mugabe. POLAD is committed to a national dialogue within the country, and active, positive re-engagement with the United States. That's why the delegation is so eager to meet with Congressman McCaul, a leading US policymaker, to share information on recent and important anti-corruption efforts in Zimbabwe, concerns about China's recent dominance of the African continent, and the impact of U.S. sanctions. The POLAD delegation will be in Washington, DC on March 25, 26, and 27, and would be very interested in meeting with Congressman McCaul during that time. Given his responsibilities as Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which has a direct impact on Zimbabwe-related issues, I hope you have time to participate in this important dialogue. I respectfully urge you to respond directly and positively to the group.

  • Corruption in Zimbabwe: an Examination of the Roles of the State and Civil Society in Combating Corruption
    CORRUPTION IN ZIMBABWE: AN EXAMINATION OF THE ROLES OF THE STATE AND CIVIL SOCIETY IN COMBATING CORRUPTION BY STEPHEN MOYO A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire March 2014 Student declaration I, Stephen Moyo declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work Signature of candidate …………………………………………. Type of award Doctor of Philosophy School Education and Social Sciences i Abstract This thesis employs the theory of political economy to examine the roles of the state and civil society in combating corruption in Zimbabwe. The thesis initially investigates whether and how the state-civil society relation influences or impedes Anti-Corruption management, and subsequently examines strategies deployed by the state and civil society organisations (CSOs) to combat corruption. Particular attention is paid to the role and impact of the state in designing and implementing Anti-Corruption policies, and the role civil society plays in influencing Anti-Corruption legislation and policy implementation. This study adopts the World Bank conceptualisation of corruption and Transparency International‟s (TI) Corruption Perception Index (CPI) as part of the guiding framework. In-depth interviews with fifty eight key informants drawn from different levels within the government and civil society in Zimbabwe were conducted between October and February, 2012.
