Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Monday called for the suspension of Robert Mugabe from the African Union, until he allows a "free and fair" election.
But reports from Egypt suggest African leaders discussing the Zimbabwe crisis favour a power-sharing deal, modelled on the one which ended the bloody post-election crisis in Kenya earlier this year.
Odinga told a press conference in Nairobi that 'Mugabe should be suspended until he allows the AU to facilitate free and fair elections,' adding that the AU will be setting a dangerous precedent if Mugabe is allowed to participate in it's meetings. The African Union has a rule not to accept leaders who have not been democratically elected, but observers say it is unlikely the AU will immediately take strong action against Mugabe.
