Zambia has accused Zimbabwe of attacking its sovereignty in an escalation of a diplomatic tiff between the two neighbours, which has been simmering for some time.
The dispute between the two countries escalated early this month after a video of Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa complaining to Russian leader Vladmir Putin about Zambia’s relationship with Western countries was released by Moscow.
President Mnangagwa was attending the St Petersburg International Economic Forum where he accused the United States of developing military and economic ties with Zambia as a way of isolating Zimbabwe.
He asked for President Putin’s support “especially in the area of defence and security as well as food security.
Zambia’s Foreign Affairs minister Mulambo Haimbe addressing Parliament on Thursday said that Lusaka was seeking help from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and African Union to deal with the dispute “decisively and conclusively.”
