The inauguration of  president elect Barack Obama is expected to take place on the 20th of January 2009 if  his election is not overturned on the 15th of December by the Electoral College, due to his negligence to confirm his real citizenship by birth.

Officials in the Obama camp have negotiated secretly with one API Lawyer about the invitation to be extended to API Chief Editor to attend the inauguration ceremony in Washington.

In a secret meeting held in the UK, Obama camp representative met with a lawyer representing API to discus the possibilities of reaching an agreement so that API Chief Editor may be accorded security if he accepts the invitation. Security has been necessitated by the recent Michelle Obama stories on the tape to be released and the Imam document on Obama’s birth.

There will be a problem if API accepts the invitation. The news organization will be compromised because of the tape on Obama and the Imam document scheduled for release in the next few days.

Obama’s representative was very keen in the meetings to get API to accept the invitation and in return promised high security for the Chief Editor while in the US. The meetings were held for two and a half days in London, ending Sunday morning.

‘Enough is enough’,

Britain’s Brown tells Mugabe

LONDON (AFP) — British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Saturday that world powers must join together to tell Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe that “enough is enough” amid a cholera epidemic which has killed nearly 600.

Brown said the crisis in Zimbabwe was now “international”, adding he hoped the United Nations Security Council would meet urgently to consider the situation.

His comments come as the international pressure on President Mugabe rises, with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice saying it was “well past time for Robert Mugabe to leave” and Brown’s Foreign Secretary David Miliband calling the Zimbabwean government a “rogue” regime.

“This is now an international rather than a national emergency,” Brown said in a statement released by his Downing Street office.

“International because disease crosses borders. International because the systems of government in Zimbabwe are now broken. There is no state capable or willing of protecting its people.

“International because — not least in the week of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights — we must stand together to defend human rights and democracy, to say firmly to Mugabe that enough is enough.”

Britain Thursday pledged extra aid to fight the cholera outbreak in its former colony, where the death toll has hit 575, according to the UN.

Brown said the focus now was on getting aid to the people who need it most, in part through the establishment of a command and control structure in Harare, stressing that “our differences with Mugabe will not prevent us doing so”.

He added he had been “in close contact with African leaders to press for stronger action to give the Zimbabwean people the government they deserve”.

“I hope that the Security Council will meet urgently to consider Zimbabwe,” he said, also calling on Zimbabwe to allow visits by senior officials.

Zimbabwe cholera action needed -

PM

Gordon Brown has called on the international community to tell Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe “enough is enough”.

With the beleaguered African state now in the grip of a cholera epidemic, the Prime Minister said in a statement that the situation had deteriorated to the point where it demanded an international response.

He said: “This is now an international rather than a national emergency. International because disease crosses borders. International because the systems of government in Zimbabwe are now broken. There is no state capable or willing of protecting its people.

“International because – not least in the week of the 60th anniversary of the universal declaration of human rights – we must stand together to defend human rights and democracy, to say firmly to Mugabe that enough is enough.”

Mr Brown said the immediate priority was to prevent more deaths through the distribution of re hydration and testing packs.

He called for the establishment of a “command and control structure” in the capital, Harare, to co-ordinate the work of donors and NGOs to ensure that international aid reached the people who needed it most.

At the same time, Mr Brown said that he had been in close contact with African leaders to press for stronger action “to give the Zimbabwean people the government they deserve”.

He said that he now hoped that the United Nations Security Council would meet urgently to consider the situation in Zimbabwe.

“The people of Zimbabwe voted for a better future. It is our duty to support that aspiration,” he said.
