Dark clouds hung over Speke Resort Munyonyo at yesterdays opening of the heads of state summit of the African Union at a conference Uganda is hosting on the plight of internally displaced persons after it emerged that the current chair of the AU and Libyan President Mummar Gaddafi had skipped the event.
No official statement was issued to explain why the Libyan leader did not show face even though he was expected to open yesterdays meeting.
But what was more odd was the lukewarm attendance by Africas top leaders, with only five presidents, including host President Museveni in attendance.
