	answer	answer answer text <p>The UK has had regular contact with the Zimbabwean Government over the last two weeks. Most recently, I met with incoming President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Friday. Officials have also met Chief of Defence Staff General Chiwenga.</p><p>These dramatic political events were clearly triggered by a military intervention. But the most important thing now is that Zimbabweans are able to exercise their constitutional right to elect a civilian government. This can only happen through free and fair elections. A re-establishment of a civilian-led government with a clear separation between the party and the state must be a priority. The UK has made this clear to the Government of Zimbabwe.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Rory Stewart

	answer	answer answer text <p>​The Security Council most recently held consultations on UNAMID and the situation in Darfur on 15 November. During this session, we urged fellow Council members to closely monitor the impact of UNAMID's reconfiguration, and carefully consider whether the situation on the ground remains conducive to further changes. We are in regular contact with UNAMID and are monitoring the reconfiguration of the Mission closely.</p><p>The security situation has evolved in much of Darfur, and therefore we supported the Security Council's decision in June to reconfigure the UN/African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID). However we recognise that the security situation remains fragile. Therefore, our priority is to ensure that changes made to the Mission are done sensibly, with appropriate review points, and to make sure that a smaller, more flexible UNAMID is still able to fulfil the core components of its mandate.</p> answering member printed Rory Stewart
