President George W. Bush signed an executive order expanding sanctions against the Government of Zimbabwe Friday morning.
The executive order focuses on targeting individuals and entities who support the regime of Robert Mugabe.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated seventeen entities and one individual who will be targeted by the new sanctions as a result of their support for the Mugabe regime. Several major entities on the list include the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe (MMCZ), the Zimbabwe Mining Development Corp. (ZMDC), and the Agricultural Development Bank of Zimbabwe
The only individual on the list is Thamer Bin Saeed Ahmed Al-Shanfari, an Omani who works closely with Mugabe and whose company, Oryx Natural Resources, allows Mugabe and his officials to benefit from mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
OFAC Director Adam Szubin said, “The U.S. is imposing further sanctions against ... these supporters. These actions send a clear warning to those who would protect Mugabe and his assets at the expense of the Zimbabwean people.”
