Zambia's Opposition Leader - Hakainde Hichilema

from The Interview · host BBC World Service

Over the past 25 years Zambia has been a positive example of stable, relatively free and democratic governance in Africa. But that cherished status has been jeopardised recently with the country witnessing a disputed election, political violence, a state of emergency and the imprisonment of Zambian opposition leader, Hakainde Hichilema. He was freed last August, but still refuses to accept the legitimacy of last year’s election. Is he destabilising Zambia?(Photo: Zambian opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema waves at his supporters.
