Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

The government-controlled print and electronic media has, so far, ignored the story. However, the April 19 edition of the country's only independent daily "The Daily News" carries a wire article by Reuters News Agency on page one, under headline "U. S. widens sanctions by slapping ban on sale of defense equipment." The April 18 edition of the independent financial weekly "The Financial Gazette" also printed the Reuters story on page 54, under headline "U. S. bans defense equipment sells to Zimbabwe." WHITEHEAD
