Sharm El Sheikh — The meeting of ministers of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) countries, that started last Monday in Egypt, in Sharm El Sheikh City, ended on Tuesday afternoon with the approval of a declaration that will be submitted to the 15th Summit of Heads of State and Government, which begins this Wednesday.
According to the director for Africa and The Middle East of the Angolan Foreign Affair Ministry, Nelson Cosme, it was passed the proposal of a "Declaration of Sharm El Sheikh", which outlines various actions that will be developed in the three years of Egypt's presidency of the organisation.
The document also mentions the Non-Aligned Movement principles and reports a set of actions to achieve their goals.
The diplomat said that it was also submitted to the Heads of State the debate on the importance of solidarity among the member states towards peace and development.
The contribution of the organisation in decision-making in international matters, such as in seeking solutions to the world economic, climatic and food crises, affecting the member states has been transferred to Wednesday's summit, whose closing act is set for Thursday.
Angola is at the meeting through Premier António Paulo Kassoma, in representation of President José Eduardo dos Santos.
The NAM gathers 115 countries and it was created in September 1961.

I wonder if it even occurred to Mugabe that if he is genuinely serious about reforming the IMF and WB, it would have been far better had he left it to another country to raise the matter. After all, Zimababwe owes $4 billion to these organisations and is the only country in the history of these organisations to remain long term in arrears. The message would be far more creditable coming from almost any other country but Zimbabwe. I think that Mugabe simply cannot resist the limelight and that the message is in fact secondary to this.
Nowadays Mugabe talks but only his fools listen to him. The man rules his country without equity and yet talks of " a more equitable global order." Is he blind to his own madness as senility is stepping in or is he just barking nonsense to be heard and reported upon for the benefit of the stupid Herald?

what a moron Mugape is? Does he want to reform these institutions so that he can steal and plunder from them too? That will be the day. Doesnt he understand economics, obviously not. Must have got his degrees from the zanupf lucky packet, or the fact that he so senile or his brain riddled with syph that he cant see his own demise just over the horizon. Senile dementia comes to mind, what a withered foolish tick he is. He should be squashed underfoot.! Wake up zimbos our country needs to remove this fool once and forever!
