Europe's hostility towards Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe and the decision by Britain to boycott the European Union - Africa Partnership Summit in December if Mr Mugabe is invited may divert attention from crucial trading prospects for the two regions.

Mugabe is not the duly elected President of Zimbabwe. He is a criminal.
Why should he dine with leaders of Europe while his own people can't even buy mealie meal - due to the cost or lack of it - or find fresh water to drink?
The money he would spend is blood money. How is it he and his cronies have it, yet no one else does?
The EU leaders should not legitimize this criminal by allowing him in their midst.
