Presidents seek to end Zimbabwe crisis

Three African presidents arrived in Zimbabwe today for intense negotiations aimed at ending the political chaos and violence that has crippled the nation for three years.

South African President Thabo Mbeki, Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo and Malawi President Bakili Muluzi went to a Harare hotel where they were scheduled to meet President Robert Mugabe, whose increasingly autocratic rule has been blamed for causing the crisis.
