Hichilema Boycotts Three-Nation Wildlife Conservation Summit In Harare

Hichilema Boycotts Three-Nation Wildlife Conservation Summit In Harare

Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema boycotted a three-nation wildlife conservation summit in Harare on Thursday.

Hichilema’s non-participation is perceived as a further indication of the ongoing diplomatic strain between him and President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

While Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi was present for the event, Hichilema sent his Minister of Tourism, Rodney Sikumba, to represent Zambia for the signing ceremony of the Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Zambia Tripartite Transfrontier Conservation Area memorandum of agreement.

The rift between Presidents Hichilema and Mnangagwa was sparked by the latter’s recent comments made during a visit to Russia.

In a private conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Mnangagwa suggested that the United States was using Zambia to isolate Zimbabwe, unaware that his remarks would become public. He said:

The Americans are consolidating their power in that country (Zambia), both in terms of security and in terms of financial support to make sure that we feel lonely.

Zambia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mulambo Haimbe, said Mnangagwa’s comments were “an unwarranted attack on the country’s sovereignty” and called for “urgent and immediate intervention” by regional countries to restore relations.

The relationship between Zimbabwe and Zambia has been strained since Hichilema, a longtime opposition leader, assumed the Zambian presidency in 2021, defeating incumbent Edgar Lungu who had the support of Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU-PF party.

According to ZimLive, Hichilema was previously part of a regional alliance of opposition parties that included Zimbabwe’s Movement for Democratic Change.

The Zimbabwean government has suspected that Hichilema has been providing financial assistance to Zimbabwe’s opposition groups.

The tensions escalated further after Zimbabwe’s disputed general elections in August 2023. A Southern African Development Community (SADC) election observation mission headed by former Zambian Vice President Nevers Mumba concluded that the polls did not meet regional and international standards for democratic elections.

Mnangagwa and Hichilema are expected to come face to face in August when Zimbabwe hosts the 44th SADC Summit.

I don't quite understand the zimbabe politics. I think sometime last year your president built a secondary school for Zambia in Zambia neh! Was that not a good gesture towards a neighbor? Was it after or before the Russian gaffes? Where does Zambia and Mozambique have a common border in order to warranty a common animal conservative frontier?

ED has already started tearing SADC apart. One side inevitably supports HH and the other stands with ED. For the first time since the inauguration of SADC, a very important member has boycotted a regional three-nation summit. It won't be surprising if HH fails to attend the oncoming SADC Summit in Harare.

A nation cannot afford to be enemies with everyone.Enemies with the Americans,enemies with the European countries and lately enemies with our very brothers and sisters, the Zambians.No this has to stop.There is a need to demilitarise the ZANU PF mindset and learn to cultivate harmonious relations with the international community.A lot of energy and resources are being wasted in fighting these imaginary wars at the expense of national development.We need to harness the looting competition,we want tarred roads,meaningful education,jobs,fully functional hospitals and clinics.Above all we need healing as a nation torn apart by the politics of entitlement of the ruling party.

He just wanted to show the two outdated revolutionaries that some things are too small to involve Heads of State as mere Ministers can handle them for their respective gvts
