All those head of states meeting in Egypy are like Mugabe. All of them have pecks in their eyes. None of them can therefore look straight into the eyes of Mugabe. They have all used the state machinery to enriched themeslves and reduce their citizens to nonentities. All that Africans face everywhere is humiliation, ridicule and become a laughing stock. Our leaders have make Africa a beggar begging with a golden bowl. They run from one summit to another to exposed their inefficency-China Afican Summit, India African Summit, EU African Summit. Japan African Summit soon it will be the Moon African Summit. Kofi Annen Said it right "Over successful decades African continent devolved into a land of big men with broken dreams"
The evidence for crime against humanity in Zim is overwhelming and I am not sure what could result in the AU being divided on the issue of legitimacy. Mugabe went into an exersice to crown himself, kill the opposition supporters and defied the laws of the country yet the African Leaders can talk about power sharing with a dictater. Mbeki's position is compromised because he has farms in Zim and was leaving in Zim (Waterfalls surbub) during the apartheid era and is told what to say by Mugabe.Surerly the precedence being set by Zim will be disasterous for the whole continent. Zimbabweans are not violent and Mugabe is taking advantage.
we claim to be united while other progress we regress,majority of the african leaders are dictators themselves,they talk about power sharing whereas we should talk about democracy,many should question themselves whether the are fit to attend that conference for is something useless indeed because they talk about power sharing just for most of them to stay in power is shame
After Thabo Mbekis failed mediation effort on behalf of SADC the AU must take decisive, meaningful action in the Zimbabwe crisis. Mbeki's efforts have yielded no fruit at all. You cannot mediate the battering and killing of innocent, defenceless people, by their own government. I suppose a transitional government may be the only plausable option for now as the MDC have a hold of parliament and ZANU PF have the executive. Perhaps Mr Mugabe can explain his utterances that he would not accept an MDC victory - what exactly did he mean? I hope the AU take a tough stance on this or else other African states will follow the example of "democracy the ZANU PF way".
Why do these African leaders get excited to talk about POWER SHARING ARRANGEMENTS, as if its a common denominator to all situations. What I can see from the entire lot is that, they themselves would wish to stay in power forever, at the cost of lives of those who endorse them through polls (willingly or forcibly through terror tactics) into offices. Its a SHAME.

Zim crisis
The evidence for crime against humanity in Zim is overwhelming and I am not sure what could result in the AU being divided on the issue of legitimacy.

power is corrupt
