United Nations: Leaders of key member-nations of the UN Security Council and the African Union meet at the UN headquarters on Wednesday to talk about the crisis in Zimbabwe, Sudan and Somalia.
The meeting is due to focus on Security Council cooperation with the AU and other regional organizations.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday said the summit offered "a natural opportunity to address the situation in Zimbabwe" where tensions have mounted of the delayed release of results of the March 29 election.
Also to be debated is the crisis in western Sudan, where only 9,000 of the required 26,000 UN-AU peacekeepers have been deployed in the war-racked Darfur region.
The Somali president is also expected to tell the Security Council that international peacekeepers were urgently needed to bring stability to his lawless country.
