2004-11-12 Africa: Subsaharan

The African Union chairman, President Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria, has invited six African leaders to a summit on the crisis in Ivory Coast.

Oh boy, a summit! Nuttin' says progress like a summit of African politicans ...

Leaders from Ghana, Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, Libya and Ivory Coast are expected to attend the talks on Sunday. War resumed and riots erupted after France destroyed the Ivorian air force, in retaliation for peacekeeper deaths. The exodus of foreigners has been continuing, after huge anti-French protests prompted Europeans to flee. Citizens of nine more countries - Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Britain, the US and Canada - left on Thursday. France had already begun to airlift its citizens.
