AFRICANS MATTER:

Bush slaps sanctions on Mugabe (AFP, March 08, 2003)
US President George W Bush has slapped sanctions aimed at the assets of Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe and 76 other government officials for undermining democracy there, the White House said today.

Bush's executive order "blocks all property and economic assets of the targeted individuals. It also prohibits United States citizens or residents from engaging in any transaction or dealing with the targeted individuals," Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer said in a statement.

The move affects "Mugabe and 76 Zimbabwean government officials who have formulated, implemented, or supported policies that have undermined Zimbabwe's democratic institutions," Fleischer said.

Watch the Dems complain that Bush is attacking Africans to maintain their 90% of the African-American vote.

Does this mean that those spam emails asking me to transfer $10 million out of Zimbabwe in exchange for keeping part of it, they might be true?
