U.S. Proposes Bill to Repeal Zimbabwe Sanctions, With Conditions

A new Bill has introduced in the United States House of Representatives that proposes the repeal of the nearly 25-year-old sanctions regime imposed on Zimbabwe, marking a possible shift in Washington's policy towards Harare. 

The legislation, tabled by Republican Brian Mast, is tied to new conditions, stipulating that Washington will not support new IMF and World Bank funding for Zimbabwe until the government pays full compensation to white farmers whose land was confiscated.

The proposed legislation, known as the Department of State Policy Provisions Act, would end the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001, which enabled the U.S. to oppose loans, debt relief, or financial assistance to Zimbabwe from international institutions.
