Zimbabwe’s MDC Says Talks with Mugabe Deadlocked

Despite coming to a power-sharing agreement two weeks ago Zimbabwe’s opposition Movement for Democratic Change party and ruling ZANU-PF party remains deadlocked over the distribution of key ministries within the government.

According to the MDC, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has demanded he maintain control of the appointments for several ministries including finance, home affairs, information and justice.

Under the power-sharing deal signed two weeks ago MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai was appointed prime minister while Mugabe remained president. While the outline of the deal was agreed upon the details have proven to be more difficult.

Mugabe has denied reports of problems and insisted a unity government would be formed by the end of the week.

For that to happen there will have to be an agreement on how to divide the cabinet posts. As part of the power-sharing deal the ZANU-PF party would hold 15 seats while the MDC under Tsvangirai would have 13 and the MDC under Arthur Mutambara will have three cabinet seats.

Mugabe will also remain head of the military but the MDC wants control over the police.
