Mugabe also denied any responsibility for harm to the nation from his economic policies, instead blaming what he called "unjustified" and "illegal" sanctions that he said were intended to bring regime change.
"The sanctions must be lifted. We should have no interference from outside," Mugabe said. "The continued imperialist interference in our affairs is affecting our country adversely."
When Amanpour challenged him by saying most of the sanctions were directed at individuals, rather than economic entities, Mugabe said she was wrong.
"The U.S. sanctions are real sanctions, economic sanctions. Have you looked at them?" he said. "It's because of sanctions, mainly."
However from this article written by a Zimbabwe national;

you get this picture of the situation.

The irony is stunning. At the moment, more than 70 percent of the population in rural areas depends totally on international food donations, mostly from the United States and Britain.
Again the evil ex Colonists and Capitalists come to the rescue of the 'common citizens' in a totalitarian society that believes in 'redistribution' of other peoples assets.
