Thank you Mr Brown

After pressure by the archbishop of York and others Gordon Brown threatens not to attend the EU Africa summit in December if Mugabe will be invited to the summit.

The European Union-African Union summit will take place in Lisbon in December. The travel ban on Mugabe could be lifted to allow him to attend the summit.

Brwon said that Mr Mugabe has an EU travel ban for a reason - "the abuse of his own people".

Gordon Brown also said:
"I believe President Mugabe's presence would undermine the summit, divert attention from the important issues that need to be resolved. In those circumstances, my attendance would not be appropriate."

Now the EU ist under pressure!
