Raila said the AU should compel Mugabe to put in place a coalition government.
It hurts to see the AU watching helplessly as Mugabe continues to run down Zimbabwe. The AU should act for the sake of Zimbabweans and ensure that Mugabe agrees to share power with the opposition, said Raila.
Speaking at an International Human Rights conference in Nairobi on Wednesday, Raila said Kenya had its share of electoral problems, but moved within three months to agree on a power sharing deal. Even if Mugabe was among Zimbabwe’s freedom fighters, he cannot be allowed to run Zimbabwe the way he wants, said Raila.
Odinga expressed concern that Zimbabwe’s Premier designate Morgan Tsvangirai had been denied travel documents to attend a regional summit.
