ROME ? An African leader whose regime is accused of human rights abuses has sent a substitute to Rome to deliver the keynote address at a U.N. forum on food crises.
The Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organization had invited Equatorial Guinea's president, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, to give the main speech Monday. An FAO spokesman said he didn't know why the president didn't come.
Obiang whose country holds the rotating helm of the African Union, seized power in a coup 32 years ago.
Western governments view him as tainted. There has been resistance at another U.N. body, UNESCO, to a push by African leaders to create a prize named after him. Diplomats have delayed a decision.
