EU Renews Sanctions Against Zimbabwe
European Union foreign ministers have renewed sanctions against Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe for another year. However, they said the measures - a response to the political and human rights situation - could be re-examined after next month's parliamentary poll. The extension, which came on the day Mr Mugabe celebrated his 81st birthday, was passed unanimously without debate. The sanctions include a ban on Mr Mugabe and other government officials from travelling to EU countries. They were first implemented three years ago...Now, if Mugabe were willing to challenge the US, and could afford to buy French-made arms, it would be an entirely different situation.
