No pressure on Mugabe From Summit

South African leaders are putting no public pressure on Zimbabwe's President, Robert Mugabe, to solve his country's dire political and economic crises. After a two-day conference in Zambia's capital, Lusaka, delegates said only that they welcomed progress in talks between Zimbabwe's rival politicians. The leaders said Mr. Mugabe, who attended the summit, was not directly asked about the crisis in his country. Inflation stands at about 4,500% in Zimbabwe and food shortages are common.
