Claim: In March 2012, the Barotse National Council, meeting in Mongu, resolved that Barotseland should consider itself "separated" from Zambia, citing the government's unilateral abrogation of the 1964 Agreement; protests calling for restoration of the Agreement have since been met by the Zambian government with measures including the arrest of hundreds of Barotse activists on charges including treason, matters this bundle does not narrate in incident-level detail.
