Africa summit ( The Times * monday 10 sep 2007*)

Africa summit

Like the failed summit of 2003, the summit of this year is likely to be cancelled. This because the African leaders like have planned to ban Robert Mugabe from the summit. They think that they have to stop inviting Mugabe. If the summit valid, the English Prime Minister Gordon Brown could found him self blamed for setting back the Europe relationship with Africa. Also the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said last month he would not attend the summit if Mr Mugabe attended. China is also trying to get a better relationship with the continent Africa, and that could be a treat for Europe.

My opinion
The African summit is a very good option to strength the relationship between Europe and Africa. Leaders like Mugabe should not attend the meeting, because he is a dictator. I think that more presidents of Europe should say the same thing about Mugabe like Gordan Brown said. It’s absolutely wrong to do nothing about the dictatorship of Mugabe, and to invite him to the meeting. I think that Europe is also afraid of the growing relationship between China and Africa, and that will be no good for Europe.
