Zimbabwe: Ruling party, opposition to resume power-sharing talks

(SomaliNet) A local newspaper in Zimbabawe quoted a ZANU-PF official as saying; Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU-PF and the opposition will resume power-sharing talks at a weekend regional summit in South Africa.

\"We are travelling to South Africa with President (Robert) Mugabe today as the negotiations continue,\" the Herald newspaper quoted chief ZANU-PF negotiator Patrick Chinamasa as saying.

\"The talks never collapsed and all parties are committed to the dialogue. I would also want to confirm Zanu-PF\'s commitment to see the talks end successfully sooner rather than later,\" Chinamasa said.

The negotiations began last month after Mugabe\'s unopposed re-election in a vote in June that was condemned around the world and boycotted by Tsvangirai because of attacks on his supporters.- Agencies
