Herald ReporterRESEARCHER and political analyst Richard Mahomva has today presented his latest book, “Standing Against Illegal Sanctions”, to Vice President Dr Kembo Mohadi at his offices.The book is framed as a response to what Mahomva describes as the scholarly silence on the international support Zimbabwe has received in the face of sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union.It celebrates the Southern African Development Community’s (Sadc) declaration of October 25 as Anti-Sanctions Day, which the regional bloc uses to call for the immediate and unconditional removal of what are described as illegal sanctions on Zimbabwe.In its preamble, the publication pays tribute to Sadc’s solidarity, interpreting it as a testament to Africa’s collective resolve to confront the lingering effects of colonialism and neo-colonialism.The book situates this unity as a regional stand against what it terms violations of international law and human rights by Western powers.Mahomva’s work also positions itself as an affirmative response to anti-sanctions initiatives by Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU-PF, government institutions, civil society organisations, and socio-economic movements.It aims to consolidate academic research and policy guidance to strengthen national and regional efforts against external economic restrictions, while extending lessons to other Global South nations facing similar challenges.While acknowledging Zimbabwe’s achievements in development, the book gives analytical focus to the country’s foreign policy, particularly its post-land reform stance toward Western nations.It connects Zimbabwe’s diplomatic trajectory to broader Global South resistance movements against neo-colonial domination.“Standing Against Illegal Sanctions” calls for a unified global stance, urging developing nations to draw inspiration from Zimbabwe’s resilience in combating modern forms of imperialism.Leave a ReplyCancel reply
