LUSAKA, Zambia (AP) - A summit of southern African leaders expected to deal with Zimbabwe's economic and political crisis closed Friday with no quick fix in sight for the country's problems.
The closing communique made only a brief reference to Zimbabwe's troubles, despite concern in neighboring countries that the turmoil is harming their economies and prompting thousands of destitute people to leave the stricken nation.
The summit declaration welcomed South African President Thabo Mbeki's mediation efforts between Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe's ruling party and the opposition Movement for Democratic Change.
