Looks like the SADC summit is going to be worth watching after all, as according to the BBC both Robert Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai are due to attend.  What I wouldn’t give to see the two of them in the same room…

Which begs the question:  Has Morgan been invited, or is he simply crashing the party as the duly elected President of Zimbabwe (as MDC fully believe he is)?  If he’s invited, does that mean that SADC are preparing to publicly back him, or are they hoping a deal can be reached behind closed doors?  The events of this weekend are looking ever more interesting by the day.

Of course, “interest” is something you can only have from a safe distance.  On the ground, things are far more serious.
