Zambia considers itself a Christian nation and gay relationships are still outlawed in the country. On Monday, Zambian President Edgar Lungu chided Foote for interfering in the country’s domestic affairs, saying his government will complain to the US administration. *More: BBC News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
