North Korea calls for reunification with South Korea

North Korea has called on "all Koreans at home and abroad" to "promote contact (and) cooperation between North and South Korea". State media in North Korea also said Pyongyang would "smash" all challenges against reunification of the Korean peninsula. Koreans are being urged to make a "breakthrough" for unification without other countries' help. It is the latest in a series of overtures. North and South Korea will march under one flag as their first joint Olympic team competes in the winter games in the South's Pyeongchang County next month. The Unification Flag, which features the entire peninsula and surrounding islands in blue on a white background, was last used in 2006 at the Winter Olympics in Italy.

Zimbabwe president promises 'free and fair' election in five months

Zimbabwe is going for elections in four to five months’ time and we have to preach peace, peace and peace,” the new president, who served as Mugabe’s right-hand man for decades before taking power, said during a visit to neighbouring Mozambique. Successive polls have been marred by violence and intimidation, leading to sanctions and the diplomatic isolation of the former British colony.
