Agreed Oz. the Zim issue at the summit was not the main points of the summit in our media, but the failure to secure a trade agreementm, for which negotiations have been going on for some time now, was. My favourite bit was, when it became clear that the details would not be sorted out before the end of the summit, the EU suggested Africa sign the treaty anyway, and then the details ill be sorted out later.


Uhm? What? That was very funny

AH

PS. I do agree Dragon that Zim should not dominate talks about Africa, even if it is an important issue, as Zim is not Africa

Just when you think maybe Africa is not confusing, this happens. Firstatthe summit, it seems africa backs Mugabe, and then th tribunal finds against him. The interesting thing would be to watch wether he is goingto adhere to the ruling.

Merkel should be a Nazi? Oh my gosh? Why did he say this. I'm sorry but someone who say something like this about an other political person (in this case Kanzler) can't no much about the second world war and the consequences. Still today we must work against the hangovers of Hitler dictatur and the DDR. And I don't think that anybody of our government is a Nazi. Sorry but thats so ridiculous.

Course its ridiculous. No-one's taking Mugabe seriously on this.
