Tsvangirai to brief Gaddafi

BBC man held in Zimbabwe

A classical music presenter for the BBC has been arrested and is in custody in Zimbabwe.

Harare - Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai left Zimbabwe on Thursday for Morocco and Libya, the current African Union chair, where he said he will brief Muammar Gaddafi on the unity government.

"I am taking the opportunity of being in the region to meet the chairman of the AU about the developments in the country and what progress we are making," Tsvangirai told reporters at Harare's airport before his departure.

He said he was invited by Libyan leader, and that he would also visit Morocco to discuss "areas of co-operation".

Meanwhile, he said his negotiators were meeting with President Robert Mugabe's party in a bid to smooth over bitter disputes within the power-sharing agreement.

At a November 5 summit, regional leaders gave the rival Zimbabwe parties 30 days to settle their differences.

"The whole urgency of the matter is to try and rescue the credibility of the inclusive government," Tsvangirai said.

This is the second time Tsvangirai has left the country as prime minister, after his maiden foreign trip to Europe and the United States.

Since March, Tsvangirai and Mugabe have disagreed on the appointment of key government officials such as the central bank governor and the attorney general. Tsvangirai's loyalists also remain the target of prosecution and harassment.
