**Synopsis**: Zimbabwe has canceled a scheduled visit from U.N. torture investigator Manfred Nowak. According to reports the Nowak was planning on spending eight days in Zimbabwe investigating alleged attacts on Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai by the President's ZANU-PF party. Other Zimbabwe officialls had told Nowak he was not welcome to their country. The two leaders of the country have not gotten along since the two formed a unified government in Feburary. The trip was canceled so the two leaders of the country could discuss weither or not to go ahead with the investigation.

Sources: Compare & Contrast In the New York Times article the article was longer and contained more information about the actual event. The CNN article had more information on the relationship between the two leaders of Zimbabwe. The New York Times article also contained more quotes then the CNN article.Both articles talked about why there was both a Prime Minister and a president of Zimbabwe. They both also talked about the president's political party and its part in the actual investigation.

What I Have to Say: I personally think there is something very suspitious going on in the government of Zimbabwe. Also the fact that the Tsvangirai asked the U.N. torture investigator to come to the country and then basically said "Oh, I've changed my mind." is kind of odd. It makes me wonder if this is a way to get what he wants from the president or if he is just trying to get attention. Either way I think that the Prime Minister and the president should have talked about Nowak coming before Tsvangirai asked Nowak to make the trip.
