Zimbabwe’s talks collapse

Published:Thursday | August 21, 2008 | 1:38 PM

Zimbabwe\'s opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has warned that power-sharing talks may collapse if parliament is convened.



It was announced earlier this week that Members of Parliament would be sworn in next Monday.



President, Robert Mugabe is expected to open the first session the following day.



Mr. Tsvangirai said this would be against the agreement governing the talks.



So far, Mr. Tsvangirai\'s Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) and Mr. Mugabe\'s Zanu-PF party have failed to reach a deal to resolve the post-election crisis.



Leaders from the Southern African Development Community have also failed to help them end a deadlock at their recent summit in Johannesburg.
