Zimbabwe urged the Southern African Development Community to help its neighbor Mozambique fight a devastating Islamist insurgency that’s raising alarm across the region, saying it shouldn’t be the only member state prepared to send troops.
Zimbabwe’s ruling party “feels that Mozambique should not be expected to deal with a potential regional and security threat of this gravity and magnitude alone,” Patrick Chinamasa, Zanu-PF’s acting spokesman, told reporters in the capital, Harare, on Wednesday.
