‘. . . Continental Body Must Press Zimbabwe Change’

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown urged African leaders meeting on Monday to tell Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe that there had to be change, and called for a "new government" in Harare.
Brown said he hoped African Union leaders, meeting in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, "will make it absolutely clear that there has got to be change" in Zimbabwe.
Mugabe was attending the summit following his widely discredited presidential election win and Sunday's inauguration.
"I think the message that is coming from the whole world is that the so-called elections will not be recognised," Brown told reporters.
"People want the violence and intimidation to end.
"A new government has got to be brought in."
AU Commission chief Jean Ping told the summit that Africa must assume its responsibility in the Zimbabwe crisis, amid fears that it could destabilise southern Africa.
