EU Deploys First Election Observers in Zimbabwe Since 2002
The European Union has began deploying election observers in Zimbabwe for the first time in 16 years ahead of the July 30 election - the first in the country since former president Robert Mugabe resigned after 37 years in power. It will be a key test for incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who succeeded Mugabe in 2017, and remains untested at the ballot box.
