| Positive signs at Zimbabwe talks |
| 2008-09-10 |
| Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and top opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai have both spoken positively about their talks in Harare on sharing power. After two days of discussions in a hotel, the two men both said they hoped the South Africa-brokered talks would be concluded on Wednesday. "I must say that there is a positive development," Mr Tsvangirai said. Speaking to reporters, Mr Mugabe noted there had been "progress - and lack of it - in some areas". South Africa's national broadcaster, the SABC, reported earlier that a fresh document had been tabled providing the opposition leader with more power, as an executive prime minister. The powers to be shared between Mr Mugabe and Mr Tsvangirai have been a key obstacle in trying to strike a deal. South African President Thabo Mbeki is mediating in the negotiations. |
