1/ Understanding Zimbabwe Crisis & US Sanctions. Kanyemba, uranium, gas & oil hub. At the intersection of Zimbabwe, Mozambique & Zambia, on the Zim🇿🇼 side, is a small hardly known place called Kanyemba.
#NomoreUSsanctions #NoMoreNeocolonialism #HandsoffAfrica #HandsOffZimbabwe
2/ Kanyemba is rich in Uranium & nearby in Muzarabani, are some of the biggest inland oil & natural gas reserves in the world. In the1860s, Kanyemba was named after a Chikunda (conquerer or mixed race) ... #NoMoreNeocolonialism #NomoreUSsanctions #NoMore #HandsoffZimbabwe #Afrika
3/...son of powerful Tande (Malunga) Chief Chowufumbo and a Goan (Indian & Portuguese mixed race) mother named Maria Kanyemba. Kanyemba’s Portugese name was Jose Rosário de Andrade & he was a notorious slave trader & renowned hunter, ... #NoMoreNeocolonialism #HandsoffZimbabwe
4/...which is how this area was established as a slave outpost that also traded gold, ivory, leathers and copper with the Portuguese, Indians and Arabs in his name. #TeamZimbabwe #NoMoreNeocolonialism #Nomore #HandsOffZimbabwe #HandsOffAfrica
5/ The Chikunda of this region [descendants of Kanyemba] being expert hunters are also renowned for having invented the muzzle loading gun called the gogodela.
During the liberation war, Kanyemba was a hot spot of Zimbabwean liberation fighter infiltration into Rhodesia.
#Zim🇿🇼
6/ This little unknown spot of great historical significance in Zimbabwe, is the area of contention between the US government & Zimbabwe. The US want to develop a vast, new city in this area, they are willing to pay Zim billions for it, in exchange of a US military base there.

1/ #USColonizationOfAfrica #NewWorldOrder
The US has military operations [outposts] in 53 countries out of 54 on the African continent. The only country in which they don’t have any military activity on the continent is Zimbabwe, hence there is no pin on Zimbabwe. #HandsoffAfrica
2/ This is information you wont easily find in the conventional mainstream media because it’s being handled with such secrecy by the US State Department. Due to the Access to Information Act, some information has been released through pressure from civil society groups to ...
3/...shed light on US operations in Africa. These military operations or outposts range from:
•Military Bases
• Forward Operating Sites & Locations
• Contingency Security Locations
• Contingency Locations

1/ As a concerned former NRZ employee, I would like to bring to the attention of @ZACConline the
stinking, corrupt & unethical business conduct at the once giant economic backbone of Zimbabwe. For more than a decade, pension deductions from... #StopCorruption #NRZPensioners
2/... employees have never reached their destination ie. The NRZ Pension Fund. Statements from NRZ are doctored & managed. Remittances from workers deductions are collated & well documented but the actual funds are never transferred to the pension fund. @ZACConline @MinistryofTID
3/ Social security is every workers right and I demand an investigation to be carried out as soon as yesterday on where those funds are going. Everyone was silent when Railmed was killed the very same way. Now NRZ pensioners & workers struggle to get treatment anywhere because...

1/ In the past few days I have been hearing a lot about UK Parliament diplomatically attacking Zimbabwe, agreeing to put more pressure on Zimbabwe through our neighboring countries like Zambia, South Africa, etc. They need to be reminded that Zimbabwe is a sovereign state.
2/ Secondly, the US government has been bragging that Biden did not have a scheduled meeting with @edmnangagwa during the COP26 Leaders' Summit held in Glasgow, Scotland. They want to sound like we depend on them or, we can't do without them.
3/ They need us that is why they are always talking about us. I respect international relations but when they threaten our sovereignty, I don't tolerate. I will not compromise our founding values for interests of the West or East. We don't need their aid, we want reparations.

1/ You may not really have the power to reconcile everyone in your family and among your relatives and tell people what to do but as much as you can, make a deliberate decision not to be part of the hatred and bitterness that runs in families. #LetLoveLEAD
2/ Sensor what you say or comment on issues of your family in front of your spouse and children, you may reconcile but the seed you plant in your nuclear family will mess up the generation to come. Most of the issues the community & the Church deal with nowadays wouldn't be ...
3/...there if families practiced love, unity, tolerance and forgiveness. We have limited time on earth so before you rush to influence the broken world, endeavour to keep your family and relations together even in our imperfections as humans. #LetLoveLEAD

1/ We need to have #BlackPride & and breakaway from the psychology of self hatred. Everything begins with confidence, then creativity & then innovativeness. Unity is achieved when we stop Black person & Black person hate. Let's not be used by white supremacy to hate each other.
2/ The enemy is not ZANUPF, the enemy is not MDCA 1 or MDCA 2 or LEAD. The enemy is white supremacy which created poverty & violence. When we are united white supremacy has no power. The power white folk have is the power we allow them to have. #TeamZimbabwe
3/ A united people are a fortress the enemy can't get through.
Lest we forget, we wasted 40 years focusing on antagonism more than developmental issues. We are Zimbabweans & noone is coming to save us except US. Our economy is our responsibility. Let's save it! #TeamZimbabwe

1/ The morning after #25October #AntiSanctionsDay ;

• Zimbabweans' don't understand the impact of sanctions
• Corruption and sanctions are two different issues
• Corruption is a cancer that we are all fighting, we can't use it to sanitize illegal and imperialistic sanctions
2/ We will only find solutions for the problems bedeviling our country when we learn to separate the problems and deal with them separately without political propaganda agitation.

• Sanctions separately, sanctions are evil

• Corruption separately, corruption is bad
#25October
3/ We must never allow our hatred for ZANUPF to cloud our objectivity
All opposition forces should try to have a full understanding of these sanctions. There are 2 distinct forms of sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe
1. Targeted Sanctions
2. Sanctions imposed on our STATE INSTITUTIONS
