The United States of America has always been interested in issues concerning human rights in Zimbabwe. Following the recalling from Parliament of 39 MDC Alliance members since March 2020 the US has grown in certainty that Zimbabwe has been stifling people’s right to choose their leadership. As if to add fuel to the fire, Tendai Biti, Vice President of the opposition party was recalled on the 17th of March 2021.
The US Embassy will continue to look closely into the Zimbabwean political situation. They released the following statement:
