THEN:Pakistan's democratic credentials may still be subject to close scrutiny by the Commonwealth, but the decision by its ministerial group to finally lift the suspension did send a wave of excitement across Islamabad. Photo: Ayoub mzee

NOW:The Commonwealth threatened to suspend Pakistan unless President Pervez Musharraf repealed emergency laws and took other rapid steps to address his country's problems.
The 53-member body made the threat at a meeting in London, saying Musharraf must act by November 22 to avoid suspension.

"If after a review of progress Pakistan has failed to implement these necessary measures, it (the Commonwealth) will suspend Pakistan from the councils of the Commonwealth," the body's secretary-general, Don McKinnon, told reporters

Among the measures demanded were the immediate repeal of emergency laws, the restoration of the constitution, the release of political prisoners, for Musharraf to step down as chief of the army, and for work to progress immediately on holding free and fair elections.

The threat was the latest attempt to put pressure on Musharraf to set Pakistan back on the path to democracy.

Bhutto planned to lead a 3-4 day, 270 km (170 mile) "long march" from Lahore to the capital Islamabad to demand Musharraf quit as army chief, end emergency rule, reinstate the constitution and free thousands of detained lawyers and opponents -- including many from her partPhoto: Ayoub mzee

The extraordinary meeting of the Commonwealth Ministerial Group (CMAG), comprised Foreign Ministers from nine member-countries,Britain, Canada, Sri Lanka, Lesotho, Malaysia, Malta, Papua New Guinea, St. Lucia and Tanzania. Photo: Ayoub mzee

Remember Pakistan was suspended from the Commonwealth in 1999 after the coup which brought Gen. Musharraf to power.
Although the suspension was revoked in 2004, Pakistan has remained on CMAG’s “watch list” amid repeated warnings to Gen. Musharraf that he must adhere to his promise on giving up the uniform.

The CMAG took note of Gen. Musharraf’s announcement that elections would be held, as scheduled in January, but voiced concern whether free and fair polls could be held while the Emergency was still in place. Photo: Ayoub mzee

In a worst-case scenario, the issue of Pakistan's membership could even spill over into the contest for the leadership of the Commonwealth, which is due to elect a new secretary general in Kampala. The Indian high commissioner to London, Kamalesh Sharma, who had been widely expected to gain a consensus, is running against the Maltese foreign minister Michael Frendo, the present chair of the action group.

The Africans may also call for the reopening of the issue of the membership of Zimbabwe, which left the organisation before it was expelled over President Robert Mugabe's failure to hold free and fair electionBenazir Bhutto will be barred from taking part in a planned procession between Lahore and Islamabad, the Pakistani government said today

The opposition leader was due to set off for the capital from the eastern city of Lahore tomorrow morning. The journey was expected to take around three days, and thousands of supporters were thought likely to join her en route.

Bhutto - who had been negotiating with Musharraf over a power-sharing deal before his emergency order - has yet to comment on what position her Pakistan People's party (PPP) would take. A restraining order against her was lifted on Friday.

The Commonwealth has warned Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf in the past that continuing as both president and army chief is incompatible with democracy. Photo: Ayoub mzeeIs this the time for Mugabe to be re admitted to the commonwealth?

Critics believe that there is different rules for different members of the commonwealth in relation to the Zimbabwe suspension commonwealth saga
