Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has said he has failed to agree on a new cabinet at power-sharing talks with President Robert Mugabe[, the BBC reports today].After a fourth day of negotiations in the capital, Harare, Mr Tsvangirai said he and Mr Mugabe had agreed to refer the dispute to the Sadc regional group.
SADC is the Southern African Development Community. Maybe they'll have better luck there but so much for my limited optimism.
The earlier report I quoted yesterday indicated that on major ministries, Mugabe was only willing to concede on Finance, but MDC said his Zanu-PF party should not control both Defense (and thus oversee the military) and Home (and so be in charge of police). If that is indeed the point of breakdown, I really don't see where they can go short of one side or the other simply conceding the point - which I don't see either doing.
