Britain takes a fresh approach with Zimbabwe after a seven-year hiatus in cabinet visits. Lord Ray Collins became the first British minister to meet President Emmerson Mnangagwa at State House on Wednesday. The UK government aims to establish partnerships based on mutual respect rather than traditional patterns of control. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's team focuses on listening to African nations instead of lecturing them. Collins emphasized creating situations where both countries benefit from stronger ties.
Recent developments clearly demonstrate this new direction. Britain removed several Zimbabwean officials from its sanctions list last month. Former intelligence chief Isaac Moyo and ex-police chief Godwin Matanga were freed from...
