Subcommittee Hearing: The troubling path ahead for U.S.-Zimbabwe Relations

Chairman Smith on the hearing: “Zimbabwe has long been an important country in Africa, especially in the southern region. However, U.S. policy has failed to provoke reforms that would have ensured respect for human rights by the regime of Robert Mugabe. Our hearing will examine U.S. policy, especially the effect current sanctions, in the aftermath of yet another problematic election and in light of pressure from the region to remove sanctions against the Mugabe government.”
