Africa: Sanctions Must Go Now – AU . . . Embargo Must Go Unconditionally, All Must Respect Poll Results, Western Lobby Hits Brick Wall
28th August, 2013
THE African Union Peace and Security Council has called for the immediate and unconditional lifting of the West’s illegal economic sanctions against Zimbabwe to foster socio-economic recovery. The 15-member PSC, the only organ mandated to enforce union decisions, spoke in the wake of condescending pronouncements from the Anglo-Saxon alliance that comprises the US, Britain and its dominions — the erstwhile penal colony of Australia and Canada — that they would maintain their sanctions, claiming the July 31 harmonised elections were not free and fair.

Having absorbed the shock of Kerry’s speech I laid out what I regarded as the logical consequences in my article Kerry opens prospect of war without end.But none of the subsequent developments corresponds to this logic. Instead a number of enigmas present themselves. Having gone to the trouble (although not that much trouble judging by the shoddiness of this false-flag) of implicating Assad in a supposed chemical weapon attack they have failed to follow through in a way that would be expected. They have hinted at a very limited response not aimed at changing the military balance. They have renounced the goal of regime change and they have continued to refer to the peace process which I had assumed would automatically be buried by the recent dramatic turn of events.
