Despite a flimsy “power-sharing” deal, Zimbabwe remains under the control of a vicious kleptocracy. Should it be easy for foreigners to buy stolen goods? Was it a point in favor of Swiss banks that they accepted dubious gold from the Nazis in the closing days of WWII?
A flat embargo may be too much, but some extra hoops for a bona-fide businessman to hop through are not necessarily unreasonable.
