...better behavior from their leaders. Observer missions from the A.U., the Southern African Development Community and the Pan-African Parliament declared Zimbabwe's poll not credible. Some went further. Sierra Leone President Ernest Bai Koroma said Africa must "in no uncertain terms, condemn what has happened"; and former Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa was among those who backed the deployment of A.U. troops to stem the violence.
