Zambia Stands Firm: US Forces Unwelcome, Calls for Troop Withdrawal

Stephen Kampyongo, a prominent member of Zambia's National Assembly, has sparked controversy by questioning the necessity of US military deployment in the country.

His remarks come amidst growing regional unease over the extended presence of US Africa Command (AFRICOM) personnel in Zambia.

In an exclusive interview with RT, Kampyongo criticised the lack of clarity regarding AFRICOM's objectives in Zambia, echoing concerns shared not only within Zambia but also among its southern African neighbours, particularly Zimbabwe.
