SADC leaders met in Zimbabwe for a summit addressing mpox outbreak concerns across Africa.

Southern African Development Community (SADC) leaders met in Zimbabwe for a scheduled summit focusing on growing concerns about mpox outbreaks across Africa. Mpox has been declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization, with Congo, a SADC member, reporting over 90% of cases. The summit is unlikely to address international concerns about Zimbabwe's human rights record, as over 160 activists and opposition members have been arrested in recent months.
