The USA says sanctions against Mugabe and his cronies will remain because the tyrant rigged the elections!

The United States government has insisted that targeted restrictive sanctions against the Robert Mugabe regime will remain in place, in the wake of the disputed and “seriously flawed” July 31st election.

 

Whatever residual suffering the people may suffer because of the targeted sanction it is nothing compared to the suffering the people have endured because of the Mugabe tyrannical rule. The sanctions are one way of pressuring the tyrant and his cronies to accept meaningful democratic change and without it the people will continue to suffer the ill effects of mismanagement, corruption, looting, rigged elections and brutal political repression.

 

When you have a cancerous tumor one is not concerned about the pain of cutting it off as if having it has brought no pain but pleasure but worse still the consequences of leaving it result in it spreading causing even more suffering and only too soon kill you!

 

Lifting the sanction after the blatant vote rigging by Mugabe would have been a slap in the face of the long suffering Zimbabweans. Yes they have invited the vote rigging upon themselves by blindly following the blundering and incompetent Tsvangirai. Still they do not deserve to be slapped in the face by rewarding Mugabe for successively rigging the elections!
