Some US citizens are using the platform of the oncoming United Nations General Assembly Annual Conference to lobby for the removal of the illegal sanctions imposed by their country on Zimbabwe.

In an article titled "President Trump must end Zimbabwe sanctions" that appeared in the New York Amsterdam News, the writer urged the US President to immediately uplift the deleterious sanctions as they were causing untold suffering to many Zimbabweans.

This was revealed by December 12 Movement leader, Cde Coltrane Chimurenga in an interview doing the rounds on social media.

Cde Chimurenga said the New York Amsterdam News is the oldest black newspaper in New York read by hundreds of thousands of black Americans and has been around for 50 years.

He also took the opportunity to inform viewers that his organisation would stage a solidarity march and rally in support of President Robert Mugabe today, 16 September 2017.09.16

December 12 took a full page advert in the newspaper to advertise the march and rally that is expected to coincide with the arrival of President Mugabe in New York, where he will be attending the annual UNGA meeting.

President Mugabe has growing international support due to his anti-imperialism stance and unflinching commitment to stand up against global bullies who are behind many genocidal wars around the world.
