Zimbabwe Paid UK Groups to Lobby for Sanctions Relief, Al Jazeera Probe Claims

An Al Jazeera investigation alleges Zimbabwe's government, via advisor Uebert Angel, paid UK-based groups up to US$13,000 to stage a fake rally at COP26, aiming to create an impression of British public support for lifting sanctions. The claim is unverified and part of a broader pattern of alleged covert lobbying by Zimbabwe. If confirmed, it could strain UK-Zimbabwe relations and complicate sanctions relief efforts.
