Refused entry to Ivory Coast

0 Comments

Mugabe says Ivory Coast President Ouattara blocked him from entering the country after his plane landed at the airport, while Mugabe was serving as rotating chairman of the African Union (AU) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC). He does not say when the incident happened. He says African leaders refuse to recognise his leadership on regional bodies at the prodding of the French government.

The French are saying that Mugabe is a dangerous man and don’t work with him. Britain is also trying to exert the same influence.
