Zimbabwe power sharing crisis

The former South Africa president Thabo Mbeki mediates the Zimbabwe power-sharing crisis.

However, according to Mr. Tsvangirai, there was no conclusion for the first day discussion, and will continue tomorrow at 1030.

President Robert Mugabe said that "continuing tomorrow means we have covered some area today".

The US state department spokesman expressed his concern about "Mugabe's overstepping the bounds of agreement."

The European Union also condemned Mugabe's "unilateral decision".

Cabinet's imbalanced power-sharing

Earlier this week, Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai condemned the imblance of cabinate power-sharing, 13 out of 15 seats were allocated to President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party.

The most important posts including defence, home, foreign affairs, and justice were allocated to Zanu-PF party, the Movement of Democratic Change (MDC) leader Morgan Tsvangirai call for re-allocating the cabinate positions.

Can Mr. Mbeki solve the deal?

Mr Mbeki's spokesman said he was confident he would be able to rescue the deal, which he brokered just before he stepping down as president of South Africa.

And this is Mr Mbeki's first direct intervention since he resigned as South Africa's head of state.
