PAGE 02        HARARE  02457  01 OF 02  201507Z 
    CONTINUES TO DOMINATE HEADLINES IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA. 
    LAST WEEK PRESIDENT MUGABE LASHED OUT AT THE U. S. AND 
    OTHER WESTERN NATIONS HE SAID WERE PLANNING RACIST AND 
    PUNITIVE SANCTIONS AGAINST HIS GOVERNMENT BECAUSE OF ITS 
    SEIZURE OF WHITE-OWNED FARMS.  EXCERPTS OF NEWSPAPER 
    ARTICLES, INCLUDING PRESIDENT MUGABE'S COMMENTS, ABOUT THE 
    BILL FOLLOW: 
 
2.   UNDER HEADLINE "STATE OF EMERGENCY OVER SANCTIONS 
    RULED OUT," THE AUGUST 19 EDITION OF THE GOVERNMENT- 
    CONTROLLED WEEKLY "THE SUNDAY MAIL" RAN THE FOLLOWING 
    ARTICLE BY MUNYARADZI HUNI ON PAGE ONE: 
 
    "THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT GOING TO DECLARE A STATE OF 
    EMERGENCY EVEN IF THE CONTROVERSIAL ZIMBABWE DEMOCRACY 
    AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY BILL IS PASSED IN THE U. S., A 
    GOVERNMENT MINISTER SAID YESTERDAY (AUGUST 18).  THE 
    MINISTER OF STATE FOR INFORMATION AND PUBLICITY, 
    PROFESSOR JONATHAN MOYO, SAID THERE WAS NO REASON TO 
    RESORT TO SUCH ACTION SINCE THE COUNTRY WAS ALREADY 
    UNDER UNDECLARED SANCTIONS. . .'ALL THE TALK AND DEBATE 
    ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF IMPOSING A STATE OF EMERGENCY 
    IS IDLE.  THE TALK HAS LARGELY BEEN FUELLED BY 
    OPPOSITION ELEMENTS WHO HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A CRISIS 
    IN THE COUNTRY AND WHO FOOLISHLY IMAGINE THAT THEY CAN 
    PUSH ZIMBABWE TO A CORNER OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY.  THE 
    SUGGESTION THAT THE AMERICAN SANCTIONS BILL AGAINST 
    ZIMBABWE WOULD LEAD TO THE DECLARATION OF A STATE OF 
    EMERGENCY IS TOTALLY BASELESS,' SAID PROF. MOYO. . . ."

    ZIMBABWE BEING PUNISHED FOR TRYING TO REDRESS IMBALANCES," 
    KNOCKS ZENGENI, A SENIOR PRESS SECRETARY IN THE DEPARTMENT 
    OF INFORMATION AND PUBLICITY IN THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT 
    AND CABINET, WROTE THE FOLLOWING OPINION PIECE IN THE SAME 
    NEWSPAPER: 
 
    "THE RECENT DECISION BY THE U. S. SENATE TO PASS THE SO- 
    CALLED ZIMBABWE DEMOCRACY AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY BILL 
    UNDERLINES THE INHERENT CONTRADICTIONS OF U. S. FOREIGN 
    POLICY TOWARD AFRICA.  AS DEMONSTRATED BY PAST AND 
    CURRENT U. S. POLICIES TOWARD AFRICA, DEMOCRATIZATION 
    RHETORIC DOES NOT ALWAYS CONFORM WITH ACTUAL POLICIES. 
    . .AS SUCH, FOR ZIMBABWEANS AND OTHER AFRICANS TO THINK 
    THAT THE U. S. IS GOING TO OFFER A SOLUTION TO THEIR 
    PROBLEMS IS BEING NAVE.  U. S. INTERESTS HAVE NEVER 
    BEEN MEANT TO SOLVE AFRICA'S PROBLEMS, BUT HAVE OFTEN 
    CONTRIBUTED TO AFRICA'S PROBLEMS. . .IT IS AGAINST THIS 
    BACKGROUND THAT MANY PATRIOTIC ZIMBABWEANS AND 
    AFRICANISTS ARE STRONGLY CONVINCED THAT THE SO-CALLED 
    ZIMBABWE DEMOCRACY AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY BILL IS 
    NOTHING MORE THAN AN EXPRESSION OF PERSISTING FORMS OF 
    DOUBLE-STANDARDS AND RACISM IN U. S. FOREIGN POLICY. 
    MANY ZIMBABWEANS ARE ASKING WHY A COUNTRY THAT HAS 
    SHOWN WILLINGNESS TO EMBRACE UNDEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS 
    IS SO QUICK TO PUNISH A COUNTRY LIKE ZIMBABWE WITH A 
    THRIVING AND STABLE DEMOCRACY. . .ZIMBABWE DOES NOT 
    NEED A DEMOCRACY AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY BILL.  IT NEEDS 
    ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT IN ITS QUEST TO ATTAIN SOCIAL 
    JUSTICE. . . ."

    THE FREE WORLD WAS THERE: BRITAIN, AMERICA, GERMANY, 
    HOLLAND, THEY WERE THERE. . .YES THE AMERICAN SENATE 
    AND CONGRESS WERE THERE!  AT NO POINT DID THE AMERICAN 
    SENATE THINK OF SUPPORTING OUR STRUGGLE HERE BY 
    CRAFTING A SANCTIONS BILL AGAINST THE RHODESIANS WHO 
    HAD OVERTHROWN THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND, THE 
    CONSTITUTION.  IF ANYTHING, THE SAME SENATORS WHO TODAY 
    WORK WITH OUR OWN PEOPLE IN THE OPPOSITION TO CRAFT THE 
    INIQUITOUS SO-CALLED ZIMBABWE DEMOCRACY AND ECONOMIC 
    RECOVERY BILL, WERE PART OF THE INFAMOUS INTERNATIONAL 
    RIGHT-WING FRIENDS OF RHODESIA (FOR) MOVEMENT MEANT TO 
    DEFEND OVERSEAS WHITE INTERESTS.  JUST WHAT IS OUR 
    CRIME?  OUR CRIME IS THAT WE ARE BLACK, AND AMERICA A 
    CONDEMNED RACE!  HOW DARE WE CHALLENGE THEIR KITH AND 
    KIN HERE, GOD-CHOSEN ANGLO-SAXONS, WE WHO ONLY 
    YESTERDAY WERE THEIR CONDEMNED SLAVES?  THEY FEEL 
    REVULSED (SIC) THAT WE SEEK TO CORRECT THE EFFECTS, 
    IMBALANCES AND INJUSTICES OF THAT SINFUL SLAVE PAST. 
    TO DO SO IS TO PRACTICE TERRORISM AND AUTOCRACY.  THESE 
    ANGLO-SAXON BIGOTS GLIBLY USE LANGUAGE AND VOCABULARY 
    OF DEMOCRACY TO DUCK THEIR COLONIAL RESPONSIBILITY SO 
    THEY CAN PROLONG THEIR EVIL CONTROL AND OWNERSHIP OF 
    OUR LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES. . . ."
