Golfer: Good Morning TNT! It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old. They grow old because they stop pursuing dreams. – Gabriel García Márquez
Appaloosa: THANKS TISH.......you are the bomb! Great find this article is. (See article below)
Gosh.....hmmmmm.....we had a member in chat yesterday bring in some intel about Zimbabwe. Don't remember verbatim. But, essentially what was said is that the delay was pertaining to the Zim and that the US bad vs. good hashed things out and that the good prevailed. Issues were resolved and that the committee would be redoing the details of the Zim exchange and we would soon have our blessing occur.
All that said to say --- perhaps this article is an indicator of those developments.
Tishwash: 2 Senators Outline Framework for U.S, Zimbabwe Relations
WASHINGTON —
Members of the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senators Chris Coons (Democrat-Dellaware) and Jeff Flake (Republican-Arizona), on Thursday introduced a bill to lay the framework for U.S. relations with the new government in Zimbabwe.
In a statement posted on the official web page of Senator Coons, the two said the legislation updates the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001 and sets forth the steps Zimbabwe needs to take to have sanctions on its country lifted.
“After 37 years of suffering under the repressive rule of Robert Mugabe, the people of Zimbabwe should be excited about the possibility of a brighter future. To ensure conditions throughout the country improve, the international community should insist on concrete actions from the new government of Zimbabwe before lifting sanctions and renewing investment in the country. This bill is intended to outline the U.S. Senate’s expectations of the steps President Mnangagwa and other leaders should take,” said Senator Coons.
He said they are “looking forward to visiting Zimbabwe, meeting with its top officials, and assessing the steps they are taking to hold free, fair, and credible elections as well as to advance broader economic and political reforms to improve the lives of all the citizens of Zimbabwe.”
Senator Flake added that, “President Mnangagwa has signaled his intent to bring about change in Zimbabwe. His words need to be followed by concrete actions.
“This measure outlines steps that, if taken, would go a long way to demonstrate that President Mnangagwa is earnest in his desire to bring about long-overdue change for the people of Zimbabwe, who suffered under authoritarian rule for far too long.”
The United States imposed restrictive measures on some ruling Zanu PF officials following claims of election rigging and violation of human rights. link

» Casinos would surely bring hefty revenues. But Vietnam should have, at most, two casinos, say experts. That said, they also agree that the casinos should be open to all, including Vietnamese.
