Dominating the year was the love-hate relationship between the principals in the Government of National Unity (GNU) and mixed signals and disagreements over elections. Though the economy remained somewhat stable, there was persistent controversy over the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) indigenisation agenda and the Marange diamonds. Some political tensions persisted and incidents of political violence were reported. There was no major change on the foreign relations scene: the ZANU-PF part of the GNU continued to blame “illegal” sanctions for the country’s woes, unrelentingly demanding their removal.
