Former ZANU PF minister Jonathan Moyo says sanctions are hurting ordinary Zimbabweans.

Posting on social media, Moyo said sanctions have the most negative impact on the enjoyment of human rights in Zimbabwe.

“After listening to @usembassyharare in #TwitterSpace hosted by @daddyhope on sanctions, it’s clear US has no case: the discourse has run its course. Ordinary people have suffered the most, exposing US hypocrisy…”

He added that the ZANU PF regime has weaponized sanctions against the Opposition.

Meanwhile Alena Douhan is on her 10-day trip to assess the impact of punitive economic sanctions on ordinary Zimbabweans.

Douhan will undertake field visits to enable her to assess and evaluate their adverse effects before preparing recommendations and guidelines on means to mitigate or eliminate them.

Together with her team, she will collect information and hold a series of meetings with government authorities, civil society organizations, private sector and opposition parties.
