Libyan scolds African Union

Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy, failing in his bid to stay on as chairman of the African Union for another year, said yesterday the pan-African grouping wasted time while failing to meet global challenges. On the first day of a summit in Addis Ababa, Malawi's President Bingu wa Mutharika was selected to succeed Gaddafi, even though diplomats said Gaddafi was seeking another term.
