CEMAC Summit Postponed
The CEMAC Summit has been postponed. The conference was due to be held in N'Djamena, Chad on 17 March 2007. The important decisions earmarked for discussions required all CEMAC leaders to be present and at least two Heads of State out of the six were unable to attend [Presidents Omar Bongo Ondimba of Gabon and Denis Sassou Nguesso of Congo Brazzaville]. It is unclear whether Chad will still host a CEMAC summit.
