Zimbabwe on Thursday said it was dismayed by the White House's 'baffling' decision to extend sanctions against members of the southern African country's ruling regime over rights abuses.
The White House said that following Mugabe's ouster in November 2017 and the July 2018 general election,"Zimbabwe has had ample opportunity to implement reforms... and open the door to greater cooperation" with the US.
"Indeed, the Zimbabwean government has arguably accelerated its persecution of critics and economic mismanagement in the past year, during which security forces have conducted extrajudicial killings, rapes, and alleged abductions of numerous dissidents."
