The United States of America opened its US$292 million
embassy compound in Harare, a structural behemoth believed to be one its
largest embassies in Africa and beyond.
US Ambassador to Zimbabwe Brian Nichols said the new embassy
symbolised the United States’ ongoing and durable commitment to the people of
Zimbabwe.
The US has, for the past two decades, maintained illegal
sanctions on Zimbabwe that are responsible for massive de-industrialisation and
increased investor risks since the global superpower also sanctions countries
and businesses, including banks, that deal with Zimbabwe.
The US administration has not been equal to embrace
President Mnangagwa’s re-engagement policy, despite Zimbabwe opening doors to
dialogue and engagement.
