Zambian President Demands Sack of US Ambassador

Lusaka Times/

President Edgar Lungu has announced that Zambia has written to the United States government to withdraw its Ambassador Daniel Foote.

President Lungu said that this was because Zambia does not want people who support unchristian values such as homosexuality in the country.

The government’s position comes in the wake of undiplomatic antics by ambassador Foote in which he questioned the conviction and jailing of a Zambian couple for practicing homosexuality.

Mr. Foote had also commented on internal affairs bordering on governance contrary to diplomatic etiquette.
