Mugabe invites Annan to view 'clean-up' campaign

President Robert Mugabe has invited UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to inspect a so-called urban clean-up campaign for himself, after Annan’s envoy slammed the destruction of slums, the state-run Herald newspaper reported today.

At the United Nations Annan said he would accept the invitation to see the campaign’s effects first-hand. Annan also said he told Mugabe that those affected in the campaign must be given housing.
