Washington adds bishop of Harare to sanctions list
Posted: Saturday, March 30, 2002Washington has added the Anglican bishop of Harare and Zimbabwe's richest businessman, who is a UK resident, to its list of Robert Mugabe's close associates subject to sanctions.
The Americans say the listing of politicians, generals and senior civil servants as banned from the US, and the freezing of their assets there, is designed to punish those who help keep Mr Mugabe in power or who profit from his rule. The spouses and children of those named are also barred from the US.
Washington is consulting the European Union to coordinate measures against the named individuals. The EU is expected to announce its own expanded blacklist before long.
The latest subjected to personal sanctions include Bishop Nolbert Kunonga, who has divided the Anglican church in Zimbabwe by his outspoken support for land seizures and his derision of Mr Mugabe's black opponents as puppets of the west. MOREPrinter friendly version
