Africa summit to assess Zimbabwe
Kinshasa, 07 Sept-(ANA)-African leaders are due to discuss political progress in Zimbabwe at a summit of southern Africa's regional body, Sadc.
The meeting in the Democratic Republic of Congo is expected to highlight economic improvements in Zimbabwe since the formation of a unity government.
But correspondents say Zimbabwe's Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai is likely to call for a timetable for more reforms.
Western sanctions against Zimbabwe will also be discussed at the two-day talks.
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and Mr Tsvangirai formed the power-sharing cabinet in February in an attempt to end a political crisis that followed last year's disputed elections. (ANA)
