Zimbabwe has received a delivery of 18 helicopters from the Russian government to Mugabe International Airport. The helicopters will be used for a variety of tasks, including air medical services, law enforcement and rescue operations. According to sources, this delivery is part of a fleet of 32 helicopters to be supplied by the Russian state-owned conglomerate. The aim of this cooperation is to promote agriculture and medical services in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
Zimbabwe has been subject to international sanctions for several years. These sanctions were imposed by the government because of President Mugabe’s decision to withdraw land from foreigners and redistribute it to the local population. Unfortunately, the Westerners present on Zimbabwean soil were developing businesses and sending money to Europe, which was not to the President’s liking. These sanctions were born of the President’s opposition to such practices, prohibiting trade and all kinds of exchanges. They have had a negative impact on the population, making it difficult to access food, healthcare and a decent life.<\/p>\n
