15 years after pull out, Zimbabwe re-applies to join Commonwealth

Fifteen years after ousted Robert Mugabe pulled out of Commonwealth, Zimbabwe has applied to rejoin the Commonwealth, the group said Monday.

Mugabe angrily pulled Zimbabwe out of the bloc of former British colonies in 2003 after its membership was suspended over violent and graft-ridden elections the previous year.

The Commonwealth said it had received a letter dated May 15 from Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa applying to re-join.

This marks a major step in the country’s international re-engagement after Mugabe was eased out of office last year.

Member countries “very much look forward to Zimbabwe’s return when the conditions are right,” Secretary-General Patricia Scotland said in a statement from London.

“Zimbabwe’s eventual return to the Commonwealth, following a successful membership application, would be a momentous occasion.”

Scotland confirmed that the Commonwealth would send observers to elections due in July or August, the first polls since Mugabe was ousted in November after a brief military takeover.

Mugabe was replaced by his former deputy Mnangagwa, a veteran ruling ZANU-PF party loyalist who was backed by senior military officers.

Mnangagwa has vowed to hold fair and free elections, and has pledged to revive the moribund economy by repairing international ties and attracting foreign investment.

Scotland called for “a credible, peaceful and inclusive [election] that restores citizens’ confidence, trust and hope in the development and democratic trajectory of their country.”

Britain said last month that it would strongly support Zimbabwe returning to the Commonwealth.

Zimbabwe had fractured relations with the West under Mugabe, who had held power since independence from Britain in 1980.

The government in Harare was not immediately available to comment.

The Commonwealth brings together 53 countries representing 2.4 billion people, under a charter pledging commitment to democracy, human rights and rule of law.

The last country to join was Rwanda, in 2009.

The organization also holds an Olympics-style multi-sport event every four years, most recently in Australia’s Gold Coast in April.
