LUSAKA, 11 December 2008: Zambian authorities have ruled out any possible military intervention in economically and politically troubled Zimbabwe.
A deadly outbreak of cholera that has left close to 500 people dead in Zimbabwe has sparked suggestions that Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe be overthrown by military force.
But the Zambian government has stated that such suggestions are not in the best interest of Zimbabwe or the region.

Pande has maintained that Zambia will continue to use dialogue and the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) resolutions on addressing the problems of Zimbabwe.
