South African President Thabo Mbeki is in Zimbabwe's capital Harare
to mediate power-sharing talks between opposition and government
leaders.
The country's veteran president Robert Mugabe, Morgan
Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic Change and Arthur
Mutambara, the leader of a smaller MDC faction, are taking part.
Reports from the negotiations say the parties have agreed in
principle to appointing opposition leader Tsvangirai to the new
position of Prime Minister. The talks aimed at resolving the
country's political crisis that resulted from disputed elections
and violence began two weeks ago.
