Botswana to Boycott Southern African Development Community Summit Due to Presence of Robert Mugabe

Botswana will boycott the upcoming Southern African Development Community summit set to take place in South Africa because Zimbabwe’s controversial President Robert Mugabe will be in attendance.

Seretse Khama Ian Khama, President of Botswana, has said Mugabe should be left out of the summit until a power-sharing deal is reached in Zimbabwe. He also urged other members of the 14-nation SADC to voice their outrage concerning the condition of Zimbabwe.

Mugabe maintained control of Zimbabwe following June’s controversial presidential election in which he ran unopposed following opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s decision to drop out of the race less than a week before the vote.

Tsvangirai had accused Mugabe of using violence to intimidate his Movement for Democratic Change supporters and said the election was not free and fair as had been promised.

South African President Thabo Mbeki has moderated power-sharing talks between the MDC and Mugabe’s ZANU-PF party yet an agreement has not been reached. Mbeki will be hosting the SADC summit.
