By KITSEPILE NYATHI US President Joe Biden has extended sanctions against Zimbabwe, saying on-going repression by the country's government 'presents a continuing threat to peace and security in the region'. President Biden's move to renew the two-decade-old sanctions came a few days after the European Union (EU) decided to extend by another year its own arms embargo against the Southern African country. In a message to the US Congress dated March 1, 2023, Biden said Zimbabwe had not made any reforms to warrant the lifting of the sanctions that were first imposed in 2003 for alleged human rights violations and electoral fraud.
