Zimbabwe claims new role in keeping peace on track

Mazimhaka’s visit represents one strand of a new round of regional shuttle diplomacy being coordinated by Mugabe in order to put the peace process back on track, according to Zimbabwean government officials cited by the PanAfrican News Agency (PANA) on Thursday. In addition to Mazimhaka, Mugabe has met DRC Justice Minister Mwenze Kongolo and Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni in recent days. “The president is coordinating efforts to end the war. We should be seeing some positive movement in that direction soon,” PANA quoted a Zimbabwean diplomat as saying.
