Jane Mlambo| United States Ambassador to Zimbabwe Brian Nichols yesterday met with Zimbabwe Council of Churches Secretary General Rev Kenneth Mtata where they stressed on the need for inclusive dialogue to rescue the country from the jaws of poverty that it is currently trapped in.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa is currently engaged in a political dialogue with 18 political parties without the main opposition MDC led by Nelson Chamisa.

The dialogue process officially launched a few weeks ago has been dismissed by Chamisa as a monologue and a choir to which Mnangagwa is a choir master.

The US Embassy acknowledged the role of the church in engaging key stakeholders towards sustainable peace in Zimbabwe.

“Amb. Brian A. Nichols met with Rev. Mtata, General Secretary of the Zimbabwe Council of Churches yesterday, stressing the importance of an inclusive national dialogue. We acknowledge the hard work of churches in engaging key stakeholders towards sustainable peace in #Zimbabwe,” the US embassy posted on Twitter yesterday.
