Southern African Leaders Call for Lifting of International Sanctions on Zimbabwe

Following the conclusion of a two-day regional summit Southern African leaders have called for an end to all international sanctions on Zimbabwe, pointing to the formation of a power-sharing government as a sign the country was moving in the right direction.

While Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe welcomed the call by the SADC leaders Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has stressed the importance of the full implementation of the power-sharing agreement prior to the easing of international sanctions.

Mugabe gained the support of South African President Jacob Zuma who urged for an end to all international sanctions to help Zimbabwe fully realize that power-sharing agreement. Zuma went on to say that there should be no conditions attached to the lifting of sanctions.

Zimbabwe was the target of sanctions as a result of Mugabe’s refusal to adhere to international demands for an open government. Several countries criticized Mugabe and his ZANU-PF party for corrupt practices and intimidation during the 2008 presidential elections but he eventually agreed to a deal that allowed Tsvangirai, leader of the opposition MDC, to become prime minister.
