The Stae is in denial.'Incompetence the problem,not ....sanctions,' by Samson Hamandishe, on newzimbabwe.com, offers a clear eyed view on Zimbabwe's sanction situation.
Samson Hamandishe highlights the heavy sanctions imposed on Cuba, Venezuela and Iran that have seen these countrys generate economic growth and relative stability. This is in stark contrast to Zimbabwe's continual decline since 1980.
Rhodesia(pre-independent Zimbabwe) was sanctioned and grew its industry. Even before sanctions, between 1980-1989, Zimbabwe's industry was rapidly declining. Sanctions cannot be blamed for this continual de-industrialisation, the cause of decline is poor policy and incompetent policy implementation.
