US, UN Security Council Watching With Interest After Zimbabwe Military Generals Visit North Korea
The international community, particularly the United States of America and the United Nations Security Council are reported to be following developments in Zimbabwe keenly after a delegation of Zimbabwe military generals visited the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), commonly referred to as North Korea. The UN Security Council imposed an embargo on North Korea which prohibits the exporting of virtually all North Korean products.
According to the Rodong Sinmun, a North Korean newspaper, the Zimbabwe delegation which was led by the commander of the Air Force of Zimbabwe (AFZ), Air Marshal Elson Moyo toured various sites in North Korea and presented a gift to the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, on behalf of General Philip Valerio Sibanda, the Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces.
Commenting on the matter, David McGuire, a public affairs officer at the United States embassy in Harare told the Zimbabwe Independent,
We as the US have been increasing sanctions pressure on North Korea and we have been encouraging countries around the world, in conjunction with the UN Security Council resolutions, to comply with the resolutions.
I am not sure because I do not know what the delegation was doing there. Certainly, we do have questions on any kind of delegation that visits North Korea, especially wanting to know the nature of the business, what they will be doing.

The North Koreans are infamous for having trained the 5th Brigade, which has been accused of killing an estimated 20 000 people during the Gukurahundi massacres in the early years after Independence.
