Reverse Payments: Zimbabwe’s perfect trap, South African welding threat | Debt news

On February 7, the White House aid to South Africa and the operation of the government has demanded no danger to white farmers. South Africa needs only north to see what Trump’s execution is outside the execution order. Zimbabwe’s economy was crushed with sanctions applied after the colonial era was re-sharply. Despite the efforts to show the development of development, Washington has preferred to creep the country as a body, and began to take their views from other countries.

In July 2020, Zimbabwe in the teeth of the Covid-19 pandemology, Zimbabwe agreed to pay a $ 3.5 billion for the re-distribution during land reforms. This amount is the size of Zimbabwe’s five-fold May 2020 Covid Stimuli PlanThe United Nations has been pledged at a time that the country warns that it is “on the eve of artificial hunger.” After years of pressure from the transaction, Zimbabwean officials hope to convince the United States to lead 2001 Zimbabwe democracy and economic recovery Act (Zimbabwe). Zimbabwe, the funds to pay and remained in Zdera.

The ordinary narrative uses a careless confiscation by Despotik Robert Mugabe, which causes Zimbabwe’s land reforms economic collapse. This version rewrites the date. During the English colony, Africans were forbidden to land outside the “local resources”. In the middle of the middle of the 20th century, 48,000 white settlements 50 million acres of land farming (20 million hectares of territory), about one million acres of landscapes, 20 million acres, Zimbabwe’nin freedom of freedom has caused unfair.

In 1979, the Lancaster House Agreement, which ended in the white minority management, has been land operations for a decade for ten years, the colonial period has provided land ownership. Despite this restriction, Zimbabwe took steps in human development in the 1980s. However, the World Bank and the IMF economic structural regulation program, social spending, subsidies and the economic structural regulation program that privatize public expenditures and privatizing state enterprises. Conclusion: Mass unemployment, deepening broken services and poverty.

Mugabe government, which has increased domestic pressure until 2000, began to redistribute forced lands. There are defects in the program – insufficient sources in insufficient support for new farmers and reset the chains of agricultural supply. Again, in the contrary to the disaster narrows, thousands of lands lost a small elite of a small white elite, a small white.

The international reaction was rapid and punitive. When the US Congress passed in December 2001, Zimbabwe’s land reform program, Zimbabwe’s actions, Zimbabwe was openly presented as a threat to us. The United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia and Canada, followed by its penalty measures. In two decades, Zimbabwe was trapped during the economic insulation, could not be included in the required investments.

The human value was amazing. UN Human Rights Specialists have repeatedly warned that ZDERDAN has been a “insidious ripple effect” of Zimbabwe’s economy and fundamental rights. The South African development community estimates that Zimbabwe has been more than $ 100 billion since 2001.

2020 Compensation Agreement is an ironic iron. Zimbabwe, who has already bankrupt, hopes to borrow billions to pay for the former colonial beneficiaries, hoping to escape the punitive law given to the Land Reform Program. This creates a perfect trap: the people have to finance their obedience when suffering.

The absurdity is that the United States refuses to support the reconstruction of Zimbabwe through the African Development Bank. US officials insist on Zdera’s “not a law, not a law, but it is a difference – the goal is to the same difference – thanks to official sanctions or legislation.

This is not just the story of Zimbabwe. Recently, the Trump Administration attacked South Africa’s more careful land reform efforts, Azerbaijan’s rhetoric, this rhetoric, South Africa – 8% of the constitution, 72 percent of most South Africans, and 72 percent of the economy territory are operated.

Trump’s intervention was never related to property rights – this was about the protection of a global system that protects the former colonisers. Zimbabwe is not only a local struggle fighting for land justice in South Africa and global south – global.

Burkina Faso’s revolutionary leader Thomas Sankara, once said that the debt is “the answer he has been managed in Africa’s smartly”. Zimbabwe, this fact is to remind this fact. The international community must calculate the inheritance of colonialism and the systems that continue to apply it. Until we do, freedom promise will remain unavailable for millions of people.

Zimbabwe’s land reform was not perfect, but it was necessary. It is not a tragedy reform, but the global rear-famous Zimbabwe, to dare to protest the status quo. It is time for sanctions, and do not cancel debts and allow Zimbabwe, South Africa and other nations to follow justice. Land reform is not a threat – it is a demand for justice, a world can no longer ignore.
