Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe(Photo from ABC.net)Mugabe 'Has Killed Power Share Deal' -- Perth Now
ZIMBABWE'S power-sharing agreement was branded dead in the water by opposition leaders today ahead of mediator Thabo Mbeki's arrival for talks soured by President Robert Mugabe's ministerial allocation.
"It kills the talks completely," the spokesman for the main Morgan Tsvangirai-led Movement for Democratic Change, Nelson Chamisa, told SA FM radio.
In power since Zimbabwe's 1980 independence from Britain, Mr Mugabe's decision, announced yesterday, to award defence, home and justice ministry portfolios to his ZANU-PF ruling party means he would retain control of the army, police and other state security apparatus.
"This flies in the face of the dialogue and an attempt by the SADC to help us out of this crisis. Clearly, it is an act in bad faith," Mr Chamisa said.
The spokesman said that the move was "arrogant, unilateral and unacceptable".
Edwin Mushoriwa, spokesman for the breakaway MDC faction led by Arthur Mutambara that also signed an Mbeki-brokered September 15 deal to share power, said that Mr Mugabe's announcement stemmed from "hallucination on the part of ZANU-PF".

Robert Mugabe can not be trusted! This we knew right frm the start. Ladies and Gentlemen let us not waste time thinking we can teach an old dog new tricks - it cant be done. MDC should pull out of this whole mess and think of plan B if it exists. I suggest we call upon the UN, EU, SADC, AU and eerybody with balls to step into this country and call for elections - yes with all necessary security and get this man called Robert out once and for all.
