ZAMBIA has dismissed reports that it was training units to destablize Zimbabwe and added its voice to the sentiments expressed by the African Union calling for a peaceful resolution to the Zimbabwean crisis.
Lusaka dismissed reports by a Zimbabwe news website that the country training jointly with the army of Botswana in readiness for military invasion.
Foreign Affairs minister, Kabinga Pande, at a press conference on Wednesday described the article which appeared on the website – www.zimbabwetoday.co.uk last Sunday as “malicious, baseless and false”.
The website alleged: “Zambia (had stationed) its crack 2nd battalion troops at the Tug Argan barracks in the Copperbelt city of Ndola,” and that “Zambia's Commandos are at the nearby Mushili depot.”
“Recently both units have been training, in joint operations with the army of Botswana, another of our neighbouring states. The prospect - nothing less than the armed invasion of Zimbabwe,” added the website.
Pande said Zambia is committed to working within the framework of Sadc, AU decisions in resolving the situation in Zimbabwe.

So all those destructive devils who constantly yell for military action, should BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR!
Military action against Zimbabwe would be a fitting escuse to once and for all rid Southern Africa of racist and criminal invaders!
Africa for Africans!

We will loose sleep if a country like Angola , Namibia, or to an extent Moza were to play war games.Botswana is a mismatch. The other thing is invade for what?
