Mugabe mum on failed talks |
2008-10-18 |
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe refuses to comment why power-sharing talks with the opposition leader "went in the wrong direction". After emerging from the meeting after eight hours of strenuous talks on Friday with Morgan Tsvangirai, Mugabe, representing the ruling ZANU-PF party, refrained from commenting on why the negotiations had failed. Talking to reporters he only said that they will make a full statement "tomorrow". "We shall tell you in detail tomorrow and will also tell you the way forward. We don't want to pre-empt what we are going to say", Reuters quoted him as saying. Meanwhile, Tsvangirai leader of the opposition party, Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), said he was still committed to a broader power-sharing despite a deadlock after four days of talks. He said he is not walking away from it and hoped that with the spirit of cooperation, a final solution will be reached which will be in favor of both the parties. |
