Zambia has accused Zimbabwe of attacking its sovereignty in an escalation of a diplomatic tiff between the two neighbours, which has been simmering for some time.
The dispute between the two countries escalated early this month after a video of Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa complaining to Russian leader Vladmir Putin about Zambia’s relationship with Western countries was released by Moscow.
