Commonwealth summit shuns Mugabe
2003-11-25
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has not been invited to the Commonwealth summit meeting, to be held in Nigeria. "He will not have an invitation," said Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, who hosts the summit next month. Zimbabwe was suspended from the group of 52 mainly former British colonies after charges that Mr Mugabe rigged his re-election last year. Britain and Australia said Mr Mugabe should not be invited, but the hosts had the final say.
Guess they read the handwriting on the wall. Wonder if Bob will try to show up without a invite?

"Dammit! And Grace just bought a dozen new dresses for the occasion!"

#2  Looks like a pretty strong statement until you realize that SA told Nigeria to invite Bob and Australia pitched a fit.

#1  I don't think Bob will be leaving anytime soon - he may not be welcome back, and can't get all the goodies out with him
