Lilongwe calls for lifting of Zimbabwe economic sanctions

October 26, 2019 Nyasa Times Reporter 8 Comments

Malawi has joined the Sadc member states in calling for the lifting of economic sanctions on Zimbabwe.

Sadc ambassadors accredited to Malawi

A statement from the ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation says the lifting of the sanctions would support the socio-economic development and reconstruction efforts in Zimbabwe.

“The government of the Republic of Malawi is committed to working with all involved stakeholders towards the lifting of the sanctions imposed on the government of the Republic of Zimbabwe,” says the statement in part.

The statement says a prosperous Zimbabwe is in the best interest of Zimbabwe and the Sadc community.

Just hours after issuing the statement, the US slapped individual sanctions on the minister of Homeland Security in Zimbabwe for the violent dealing of peaceful demonstrations as well as missing and torture of critics of the authorities.

  1. USA and UK please slap the following as well: Nicholas Dausi, Peter Munthalika, Ben Phiri, Mchacha, Norman Chisale and Gertrude Munthalika.

  2. Just wasting your energy. The military regime in Zimbabwe knows preety well what needs to be done for sanctions to be lifted. This blind solidarity with a rogue regime is never going to help matters. SADC has become a rogue organisation too which condones the evil deeds of the Zimbabwean government instead of condoning them. Your actions dont inspire democracy in the region never at all. Zimbabwean government should reform itself, open up democratic space and respect human rights of its citizens and tame the scourge of corruption in that country then they can even dream of sitting around tables with the international community to discuss developemnt. For now its a No NO!

  3. Malawi problems are domestic
    They can only be sorted by opposition
    They seem to agree when they loose
    Until they unite before the elections
    Imagine if chilima and chakwera United before the elections
    Why only now
    United in demos and looting and violence

  4. I thought you were all in Russia where you have promised “monies” without strings attached.

  5. Sort out your house first before sorting out your neighbours’. Zimbabwe is not worried about protests going on in Malawi. Yet Malawi government is very concerned with Zimbabwe self inflicted crisis. Wake up people

  7. Malawi derseve a stiff sanctions as well owing to its torture of civilians by using police violently
