US Denies Zimbabwe's Claims on Militarising Zambia, Harare Turns to Russia | Firstpost Africa
The rift between southern African neighbours Zimbabwe and Zambia is widening. The United States has rubbished Zimbabwe's claims that Washington is setting up a military base in Zambia. The US Says it has no bases in Zambia and has no plans to expand its footprint there. Zambia too has denied Zimbabwean reports. Harare has been raising the alarm over the West's increasing support to its neighbour Zambia. Earlier this month, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa expressed his concerns to Russian President Vladimir Putin accusing the US of militarising Zambia to consolidate power in the region and isolate Zimbabwe. Watch this video for details.

[@Mahlatse11]

Zimbabwe is not asking help from the US, they're asking them to stop blackmailing other countries from doing business with them, which is what sanctions are, blackmail. Sanctions are not aimed against Zim, they're aimed at anyone who dares do business with them. The US doesn't build military bases for no reason. As a matter of fact the US has no country that can be considered an enemy other Zimbabwe in Southern Africa. Zim has every reason to question their motive considering they've been a target of US racist policies in the past twenty years or so. What is happening in Ukraine is about to repeat itself in Zambia. The US only protects it's own interests not any other countries'. They're there for them not Zambia. Always remember that the US leaves every war running leaving those who helped behind to be slaughtered, e.g Afghanistan, Iragi, Libya, Vietnam. Now don't even bother lifting a finger to help Ukraine. All they want is them ordering weapons on credit, yes it's not free.

[@bravewarrior1218]

#jugadug ZANU-PF has been the ruling party in Zimbabwe since the country's independence in 1980. The party was led for many years by Robert Mugabe, first as prime minister and then as president from 1987 after the merger with the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU). Mugabe remained in power until 2017, when he was removed as leader. At the 2008 parliamentary election, ZANU-PF lost its majority in parliament for the first time since independence, but then regained a two-thirds majority in the 2013 and 2018 elections. Zimbabwe has faced significant economic challenges under ZANU-PF's rule, including hyperinflation, high unemployment, and shortages of food, fuel and other basic goods. The country's economy has struggled for decades, with the government accused of mismanagement and corruption.

Then some 3 yrs ago the US through using its disguise AFRICOM set up military base in the US embassy in Zambia and started bringing in heavy military equipment claiming that they are giving these to Zambia for military cooperation despite the fact that Zambia has never gone to war. Since then our good leaders have been dying in strange ways. When I say good I mean the leaders that actually work for the people and would refuse us/eu thievery. First Magafuli, now the Malawian Vice president. They’ve also started an endless Islamist war in a natural gas and oil rich region in Mozambique.

[@dudleymakeche7842]

Military cooperation is NOT a military base. Zambia has had military cooperation with China and Russia, why hasn't anyone complained? The two countries has given military technical support to zambia. Does that mean china and Russia have military bases here?

We should all be concerned in the region with this act by Zambian president. DRC won't like it, Angola will go mad, same for Mocambique and South Africa just won't tolerate it as it will bring a lot of troubles in the future

You clown the guy was lying lol Zambia is not building US bases, we are the most peaceful country in Africa we have never had a single war! Those countries you mentioned had terrible wars within the last generations, and South Africa is the murder capital of the continent.

@conceretejungle1150 don't take hear says as gospel truths. We have no China City here in Zambia as you may find, even in developed countries!" One swallow does not make a summer." Zambia's cooperation with China goes way back to the times of our first President Kaunda and Chinese President Mao Tsetung to date. The Chinese helped us in many areas as we stood to help Rhodesia ( Zimbabwe) and other Southern African countries fight racism and colonial rule. During that time, we maintained a Non - Aligned policy that left us open to be friends to Socialist/Communist and Capitalist countries. To date,we have good relations with both USA and Russia, and no foreign country can attest to be in control of our foreign policy. We choose who to collaborate with in specific areas!!

Ordinary Zimbabweans will always see Zambians as our closest siblings. Nothing will ever change that. We have always shared the same umbilical cord called Mosi oa Tunya. May that bond always flow with love. 🇿🇼🫶🏾🇿🇲

Negotiations. USA - Zambia listen, we would like to set up our military base here. Zambia - Why not, but what do you offer in return? USA. Zimbabwe - Russia can set up its military base here because the US is building one in Zambia. Russia - Fine, but it will cost you and you are giving us your natural resources because we have to finance the war in Ukraine.
