Emerging South

Mbeki failed again in his mediation role. Tsvangirai "stormed" out of the negotiations brokered by South African President Thabo Mbeki late Wednesday.  Reports from Zimbabwe indicate that Mugabe may now be trying to make a deal with a small opposition faction and cut Tsvangirai out altogether, despite Tsvangirai's strong showing during elections earlier this year. Stability is far from being reached.
Meanwhile, to keep things on a lighter side this hilarious election propaganda poster from the streets of Harare.
