Mushohwe says Zimbabwe is not leaving UN despite Mugabe's threats to do so

Information Minister Christopher Mushowe yesterday said that the government had no plans to quit the United Nations (UN), although President Robert Mugabe is on record threatening Africa’s withdrawal from the world body.

Mushowe told NewsDay on the sidelines of the UN 71st birthday celebrations in Harare yesterday that Mugabe had been quoted out of context,

The President did not threaten to pull out of the UN, but merely outlined the concerns of the African Union over the composition of the Security Council. There needs to be reforms, which will see Africa getting a permanent seat and if Africa pulls out, it can’t be called the UN.

Mugabe, on his arrival from the 71st session of the UN General Assembly last month, told Zanu PF supporters that he would mobilise other Africa States to pull out of the world body in protest.
