Zimbabwe's Post-Coup President Heads to African Union Summit

press release

Mere months after Zimbabwe's military coup, the country's new president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, announced he will attend the 30th African Union (AU) summit - this despite the AU hhairman's statement last November that the AU would never accept a military coup in Zimbabwe.

The summit, to be held this weekend in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, will be the first gathering of AU leaders since Mnangagwa took power from the ousted Robert Mugabe last November.
