Friday 11 april 11:42 FROM THE ZIMBABWEAN Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa
has called an emergency meeting of the Southern African Development Community
(SADC) to discuss the Zimbabwean presidential poll delay. This is the
first move by Zimbabwe's regional neighbours to intervene since the elections
on 29th March 2008. President Mwanawasa is the current Chairman of the
14-nation South African Development Community. This is what he said yesterday:
I wish to take this opportunity to commend the people of Zimbabwe for
the calm and peaceful manner in which the elections were conducted. Similarly,
I appeal to them to maintain the same spirit of calmness which they exhibited
during the elections as they await the results of the presidential elections.
However, given developments immediately following the elections, I have
decided, as Chair of the Southern African Development Community (SADC)
to call an extraordinary summit on Saturday 12th April, 2008 to discuss
ways and means of assisting the people of Zimbabwe with the current impasse
as well as adopt a co-ordinated approach to the situation in that country.
