Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

U.S. To Push For Regime Change in Zimbabwe

HeadlineAug 25, 2004

This news from Zimbabwe. The Independent of London is reporting that the United States has called for the building of a “coalition of the willing” to push for regime change to end Robert Mugabe’s presidency in Zimbabwe. The new U.S. ambassador to South Africa — Jendayi Frazer — said the US couldn’t diplomatically act on its own but would join a coalition of other countries. The ambassador, who is considered to be a protégée of Condoleeza Rice, said, “We have got to re-look at the approach, that South Africa is taking in terms of quiet diplomacy … It’s not evident that it’s working at this point.”
