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.”
