Zimbabwe's power sharing talks fail to break deadlock
ZIMBABWE opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai claims four days of "intense" negotiations have failed to break the deadlock in power-sharing talks and called for intervention by African leaders.
He addressed reporters after talks with president Robert Mugabe ended late last night without resolving the impasse that has left Zimbabwe rudderless.
Former South African president Thabo Mbeki has been mediating talks since Tuesday.
Mr Tsvangirai said the parties had failed to agree on the allocation of key ministries. The opposition has accused Mr Mugabe of trying to retain too many key ministries.
Mr Tsvangirai is now calling on the Southern African Development Community and the African Union to assist Zimbabweans in "crafting a way forward".
Mr Mugabe said after the Harare talks: "It (the discussions( went well ... in the wrong direction."
Inflation is Zimbabwe is 231 million per cent.
