Africa: Addis summit to discuss UN reform

The African Union (AU) is to hold an extraordinary summit of heads of state tomorrow to discuss reform of the United Nations (UN) Security Council. The meeting, to be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is a sign of division among leaders over a compromise resolution to be put before the UN General Assembly. Had there been unanimous support for the resolution, there would have been no pressing reason for the AU chairman, Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, to call an extraordinary summit.
