Politico reports from Jokenhagen:
COPENHAGEN — Iranian Prime Minister Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe plan to address negotiators at international climate talks in Copenhagen next week.
The three leaders are listed in a line-up of more than 180 government officials published in a United Nations schedule of speakers. Each head of state will have up to three minutes to address roughly 700 delegates, reporter, observers and civil society groups.
The assistant president of Sudan, Nafie Ali Nafie, kicks off the speeches at noon on Wednesday.
Nafie chairs the G-77 group, a block of developing nations pushing hard for more money and stricter emissions cuts from rich countries.
Mugabe and Naife are particularly offensive. If the U.N. is serious about saving lives in Africa, these two should not be allowed to return to their respective home countries.
