LISBON (Reuters) - EU President Portugal would find it hard to bar Robert Mugabe from an EU-Africa summit and will push ahead with the event despite British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's boycott threat, a source close to the presidency said.
Brown said in an article he would stay away from the summit if Mugabe (pictured) was present, accusing him of having left his people in an "appalling and tragic situation." Zimbabwe's economy has the world's highest inflation rate, about 6,600 percent, and joblessness of about 80 percent.
