Zimbabwean lobby group protests against U.S.-imposed sanctions


HARARE, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- The Broad Alliance Against Sanctions (BAAS), a Zimbabwean anti-sanctions lobby group, on Friday vowed to remain camped in front of the United States Embassy in Harare, Zimbabwe's capital, until the sanctions imposed more than two decades ago are removed unconditionally.

"We have been here for 2,036 days, which means we have camped here for five years and six months. All we want is for the United States to lift the sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe," BAAS Vice Chairperson Rachael Kamangira said during an anti-sanctions protest held in front of the U.S. embassy to mark the Anti-Sanctions Day which falls on Oct. 25 every year.
