Th above are th specific actions by th Gvt. as required by th ZIDERA II (2018) 2 hav them removed.
Isn't true that th political class is cushioned from th effects of sanctions at personal & even institutional levels?

Isn't it true that th political actions that invited sanctions benefit th political class not th generality of citizens?
Are we agreed that th sanctions won’t be lifted by lobbying & recruiting popular voices against them?

Do U recall that Mugabe collected signatures & had them delivered 2 lobbyists 2 no avail? In th course of doing that, this made some people 2 commit crimes under th American legal system while it enriched some of those who were lobbyists.

Its clear what needs 2 b done by th Gvt. under ZIDERA II (2018). Talking about & against sanctions won't lead 2 their removal.
🚩 Are th above Gvt. actions rqd under ZIDERA II impossible or wrong 2 comply with?
🚩 If not, then what is stopping th Gvt from actioning?
