South Africa part of AU's Ivory Coast panel
Mon Jan 31, 2011 10:54am
ADDIS ABABA Jan 31 (Reuters) - The presidents of South Africa, Tanzania, Mauritania, Burkina Faso and Chad will form a high-level panel tasked with resolving Ivory Coast's leadership dispute, an African Union official said on Monday.
"The chairman of this group will call a meeting this afternoon to discuss a progrmme ... because they have to move, because they have only one month," Noureddine Mezni, spokesman for the AU Commission chairman, told reporters in Ethiopia.
The AU accuses incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo of clinging onto power after being defeated in a December poll by challenger Alassane Ouattara. The AU has said the panel's proposed settlement will be binding on both sides.
