The reason is that all African leaders, speaking with one voice, have said that they will not attend the summit unless Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe is also allowed to attend and the EU cease its sanctions and economic coercion of the country. African countries are refusing to be strong- armed by the British, who are increasingly isolated on the issue (even the Commonwealth is poised to re-admit Zimbabwe). The EU threat to "cancel" this summit is an attempt to save face if a proposed African stay-away goes through.   Friday, 14 February, 2003, 00:41 GMT  EU set to cancel Africa summit   Zimbabwe has strained ties between London and Paris   By Stephen Sackur  BBC Brussels correspondent    European Union officials have acknowledged that a much- touted EU-Africa summit scheduled for Lisbon in April is likely to be postponed indefinitely as a result of EU sanctions against Zimbabwe.    The Zimbabwe issue is now affecting Africa as a whole  With existing sanctions set to expire on Tuesday, a decision in principle has been made to extend them for another year. There will, however, be one exemption, negotiated by the French Government to allow President Mugabe to attend a Franco-African summit next Wednesday. The French threatened to veto the renewal of sanctions without this special exemption.   British pressure   The heated argument over Mr Mugabe's Paris visit, which the French describe as a chance to pressure him on his human rights record, left the British Government even more determined to close any further sanctions loopholes. Hence the determination to prevent Mr Mugabe attending an EU- Africa summit planned for Portugal in April. One EU official acknowledged on Thursday that the summit would almost certainly not take place. Unless African leaders have a change of heart in the next few hours and agree to come without Mugabe, he said, it will be indefinitely postponed.
