EAC leaders discuss Zimbabwe violence

KIGALI - The five Heads of State of the East African Community (EAC) meeting in Kigali Thursday expressed “serious concern” over the political impasse in Zimbabwe. The meeting, chaired by President Paul Kagame, called on the warring factions to work out an amicable solution in the interests of their countrymen. “The Summit was of the view that the election in Zimbabwe cannot be a solution under the prevailing circumstances. The Summit urged the ZANU/PF and the MDC leaders to come together and work out an amicable solution through dialogue in the interest of all Zimbabweans,” the presidents said in a joint communiqué after the summit.
