JOHANNESBURG -- Former UN secretary general Kofi Annan and former US president Jimmy Carter said Saturday they had been forced to cancel a trip to Zimbabwe because they had been denied visas.
"We had to cancel our visit because the government made it very clear that it will not cooperate," Annan told a press conference in Johannesburg.
Carter said the government of President Robert Mugabe would not "let us in."
