US President Trump govt, UK and EU to hit Zim with new sanctions.In all but the political destruction of the ruling Zanu PF party,.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration is likely going to be slapped with a fresh dosage of economic sanctions and other restrictive measures by the US, European Union (EU) and Britain, Spotlight Zimbabwe, can exclusively report.African diplomatic sources in Washington this week revealed that,

they had received information from their counterparts working for Brussels and London,.confirming that US President, Donald Trump, was considering issuing an executive order on a fresh round of sanctions against Zimbabwe, as his administration is increasingly convinced that another military coup is about to take place in Harare,.

and bring about a fully fledged military dictatorship, that might be led by Vice President, Rtd General Constantino Chiwenga, and current Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) Commander, General Philip Valerio Sibanda.An executive order is a signed, written, and published directive from the President of the United States that manages operations of the federal government. 

They are numbered consecutively, so executive orders may be referenced by their assigned number, or their topic.Trump has signed more executive orders than his predecessor, Barack Obama, in the first three years of his first term, according to a report in the UK Independent a few days ago.“The US is preparing to deal with a fully fledged military dictatorship in Zimbabwe, as they’re increasingly convinced that another military putsch is imminent,” said the diplomats.

“To that effect we hear President Trump is considering to issue a presidential executive order with a fresh regime of sanctions and other measures against your government.Proponents of the new sanctions inside his government circles, reportedly want Harare’s diamonds to be classified as blood diamonds amid allegations of forced labour and exploitation by the Chinese at the Marange fields.Furthermore there’s also a feeling that Russia is propping Zimbabwe, as Mnangagwa has allowed them to come in and mine diamonds and platinum.

Zimbabwe’s defence cooperation with Moscow, is also seen as a threat to Washington’s foreign policy objectives in Southern Africa.”.Mnangagwa who was in Sochi, attending the inaugural Russia-Africa summit this week, confirmed that Zimbabwe is interested in defence industry cooperation with Russia, but was not seeking arms.“No, we don’t have any specific military equipment that we are seeking but we continue to collaborate,” Mnangagwa told Russian media.

Another envoy who works close to the African Union Representational Mission to the US in the American capital said, Zimbabwe should expect the EU and Britain to pass similar fresh sanctions, as they always take their lead on Harare from Washington.“Yes Britain which is about to leave the European Union, and the EU are also likely to adjust their own sanctions regime against Zimbabwe in line with the US, because they’re allies.That’s no secret.
