A response to 'Statement on the first anniversary of the Government of National Unity'

Pambazuka's failure to mention ten years of sanctions against Zimbabwe with a is a crime against the country's people and humanity, writes Mike.

It is astonishing to me that Pambazuka news could publish a comment ‘Statement on the Occasion of the first anniversary of the Government of National Unity in Zimbabwe’ (2/2/10) without mentioning the impact of the ten years of sanctions.

I visited Zimbabwe in 2007. The people were great. I never felt threatened or not secure. However, it was obvious that the people of Zim were struggling economically, primarily because of the immoral, illegal and racist sanctions imposed by the UK & US.

This is a crime against the people of Zim and humanity.

Shame on Pambazuba for this malicious oversight!
