Mugabe’s presence clouds FAO summit

AFP, Rome, London
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's attendance at a UN food crisis summit in Rome is "particularly unfortunate," British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's spokesman said Monday.
"We think it's particularly unfortunate that he has decided to attend this meeting given what he has done in relation to contributing to difficulties on food supply in Zimbabwe," said the spokesman.
Britain will be represented at the summit by International Development Secretary Douglas Alexander, he added. "Obviously he will not be meeting Mr. Mugabe or having anything to do with them," said the spokesman.
Meanwhile activists, leftist politicians and Jewish groups on Monday slammed the attendance of Zimbabwean and Iranian presidents Robert Mugabe and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at a UN food agency summit in Rome.
"It is in no way legitimate for (he people of Zimbabwe to be represented by a head of state who has been disowned by the international community and who is unwanted by his own people," Sergio Marelli, Italian host of a forum on food sovereignty coinciding with the summit, told AFP.
Italy's libertarian Radical Party plans a sit-in against both leaders' presence on Tuesday, the first day of the three-day summit of the Food and Agriculture Organisation
"We are against all dictatorships," Radical Party spokeswoman Anita Friedman told AFP
Participants will include several Jewish groups as well as peace and political refugee groups.
Ahmadinejad's presence at the FAO summit "addressing the tragedy of hunger in the world symbolises the devastating contradiction between the violence of totalitarian governments and their demogogic statements," organis-
ers said in a statement.
The presidents of Brazil, France, Argentina, Egypt and Iran, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Nicolas Sarkozy, Cristina Kirchner, Hosni Mubarak and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have confirmed their plans to attend the conference.
The British prime minister boycotted a European Union-Africa summit in Portugal in { December over Mugabe's attendance.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is due to open the Rome conference Tuesday by unveiling an "action plan” to confront the crisis of runaway prices which have sparked riots across the world
