Zambian President Michael Sata (R) speaks to journalists during his meeting with former Malawian President Bakili Muluzi at the state house in Lusaka December 30, 2011. Sata said on Friday he had decided to reconcile with eastern neighbour Malawi after a diplomatic row over his 2007 deportation from that country when he was an opposition leader. Sata, who took over as president of Africa's biggest copper producer after a surprise September 20 election victory, made the announcement after meeting former Malawian President Muluzi.
