Commitment to democracy and human rights are crucial if Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 is to rejoin the Commonwealth. Both @commonwealthsec and @eu_eeas missions have a key role to play in Zimbabwe’s path to membership. #Democracy #humanrights #Commonwealth https://t.co/ROqhdhlNNT

Fantastic news that Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 wishes to rejoin the Commonwealth. Wonderful that this follows productive talks at April’s Commonwealth Summit in London. Zimbabwe must now show commitment to Commonwealth values of democracy and human rights.
