Question

What was the role of the commonwealth during the crisis that led to the suspension of Zimbabwe from its ranks?

Answer 1

A summit meeting of the Commonwealth, comprising 54 nations that are mostly former British colonies, decided not to readmit Zimbabwe after suspending it last year on grounds that Mugabe rigged his re-election and persecuted his opponents.
