"US Imposes New Sanctions on Zimbabwe's President Mnangagwa and Leaders"

The United States has imposed new sanctions on Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa and other senior leaders for corruption and human rights abuses, replacing a broader program introduced two decades ago. The sanctions target assets in the US and bar the individuals from unofficial travel there. The US cited gross abuses of political, economic, and human rights, as well as illicit activities supporting a global criminal network. The move has been criticized by the Zimbabwean government, while the US has lifted restrictions on individuals previously sanctioned.

Zimbabwe's Mnangagwa Takes Oath Amid Election Controversy

Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been sworn in for a second term after winning a disputed presidential vote. Mnangagwa secured an absolute majority with over 2 million votes, while his main challenger, Nelson Chamisa, alleged electoral fraud and called for fresh elections. The election process was criticized by observers for falling short of regional and international standards, with reports of curtailed freedoms, violence, and intimidation. The opposition party, Citizens Coalition for Change, will not challenge the results in court, citing a compromised legal system, and will instead seek political and diplomatic remedies.

Zimbabwe's President Mnangagwa Secures Second Term Amid Opposition Dispute

Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa has won a second term in office, but the opposition has rejected the result and questioned its legitimacy. Mnangagwa, who took over from longtime leader Robert Mugabe after a 2017 army coup, was widely expected to win despite the country's economic crisis. The elections were marred by delays and accusations of rigging, with foreign poll monitors stating that they failed to meet regional and international standards. Mnangagwa's ruling party, ZANU-PF, also secured a majority in the parliamentary vote.
