Libya offers to host seat of African Union
LUSAKA, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Libya has built what it calls an "
African Union village" in anticipation of hosting the seat of the
new organization to be launched next week as the successor of the
Organization of African Unity (OAU).
Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa said here Saturday that the
village, which he toured recently, comprises a conference center and
offices.
Mwanawasa, the outgoing chairman of the OAU, was briefing
journalists shortly before the assembly of African heads of state
and government in South Africa next week.
