Zimbabwe Urges SADC Unity Against Regional Division

Zimbabwe's Foreign Affairs Minister Amon Murwira urged SADC member states to reject divisive forces and unite for regional stability, according to Daily News. The call comes amid growing geopolitical tensions within the bloc over external interference and internal conflicts, particularly in the eastern DRC. Murwira made the remarks at a SADC Council of Ministers meeting in Harare, where he denied allegations of Zimbabwe's interference in other countries, according to Daily News. Murwira emphasized that unity is essential to counter external manipulation and address shared security threats like terrorism and climate change. He also called for stronger economic integration to reduce dependency on outside powers, and reaffirmed Zimbabwe's commitment to SADC's principles, as reported by Daily News. This statement underscores Harare's push for solidarity as SADC faces challenges to its collective security framework, but its impact depends on member states' willingness to act collectively.
