The year was dominated by the Covid-19 pandemic and its political, social, and economic repercussions. There was turmoil in the main opposition grouping. Also notable were human rights violations and the arrest and prosecution of opposition figures. The Movement for Democratic Change Alliance (mdc-a) continued to consider the presidency of Emmerson Mnangagwa illegitimate. Efforts at re-engagement with the west suffered set-backs. While relations with Africa and other parts of the Global South remained good, there was little improvement in relations with the West or with multilateral institutions. Humanitarian and socioeconomic challenges were worsened by the pandemic. Whereas the opposition and critics blamed the country’s problems on corruption, bad governance, and mismanagement, the government and its supporters consistently blamed them on the West’s ‘illegal’ sanctions.
