Zimbabwe leader tells UN that sanctions hurt development

: Zimbabwe’s leader on Thursday appealed at the United Nations for support to end Western sanctions, saying that they set back development goals.

“These are a breach of international law and compromise Zimbabwe’s capacity to implement and achieve Sustainable Development Goals,“ including eradication of hunger, he said. Zimbabwe has faced Western sanctions since the early 2000s but they have been focused primarily on the leaders, accusing them of corruption and gross mismanagement of an economy that has seen eye-boggling inflation rates.

“These economic sanctions worsen the existing inequalities and do not have any actual impact on their supposed targets,“ she wrote in the report, which found that 60% of Zimbabweans were food insecure.
