PlusMugabe Willing to Talk to Opposition LeadersMugabe Willing to Talk to Opposition LeadersThe Associated PressZimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe says he is open to talks with the opposition on the eve of a run-off election the Movement for Democratic Change was boycotting.

We will remain open to discussion if there are any proposals that the other parties would want to make to us. In good spirit, we will listen to those proposals, discuss them with them.Zimbabwe has been roiled by political violence for months. Just this week the opposition leader bowed out of the race, saying he and his supporters couldn't endure any more attacks.Mugabe in particular has been the target of blunt international criticism.Leaders from around the world including Nelson Mandela and the head of the U-N say Mugabe has not done enough to stop the violence and ensure free and fair elections.SOT Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General"If the election is held under this circumstances there will be serious questions and controversies about the legitimacy of the election. Therefore I again urge the African leaders to engage in more dialogue.Mugabe is calling on the rest of the world to leave Zimbabwe alone and is threatening to become even more isolated if leaders continue to pressure him.SOT MugabeThe moment the outside world starts dictating to us we will not proceed. We want it to be the voluntary process of our own people, something done on their own volition, not being dictated to them by anyone, not even the AU (african Union), it has no right to dictate to us."Mugabe remains confident he will win Friday's election and has already made plans to represent the country on a trip to Egypt next week.. ___ ___, The Associated Press. less

SelectPlusOpposition Leader Pulls Out of Zimbabwe ElectionOpposition Leader Pulls Out of Zimbabwe ElectionThe Associated PressOpposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai pulled out of Zimbabwe's violence-wracked presidential runoff, declaring that the election was no longer credible and the loss of life among his supporters was simply too high. (June 23)The presidential runoff in Zimbabwe has been violent and now, the opposition leader says he wants nothing to do with it.Morgan Tsvangari (svahn-gah-REYE) says the election is no longer credible and lists a number of reasons why it has become too dangerous.SOT: Morgan Tsvangari, Opposition Leader: "One, the police have been reduced to be bystanders while ZANU-PF militia commit crimes against humanity, carrying out various acts from rape, torture, murder, arson, abduction and other atrocities. Two, ZANU-PF militia dressed in army regalia have been deployed to spearhead the terror campaign in the rural and urban areas. Armed ZANU-PF youths are waging a terror campaign, and have vowed that the MDC will not rule the country, even if it wins."The withdrawal came as no surprise to African election observers.SOT: Marwick Khumalo, Head of Pan African Parliament Observer Mission: "The announcement by the president of the MDC was not something unexpected. You would actually expect that to happen, particularly considering the fact that the violence was not on the decrease, if anything it was escalating."The country's imformation minister says the vote will go ahead as scheduled in accordance with the Constitution. He says it is an election of the people of Zimbabwe against Britain and America. The government has called Tsvangari a puppet of western powers and has done little to stop the violence.The U.N. Secretary general issued a blunt condemnation of Mugabe's government. And Britain says enough is enough.SOT: Gordon Brown, British Prime Minister: "This is a criminal cabal that is operating and there will be sanctions from the international community unless the violence stops."The announcement means Robert Mugabe has a clear road to stay in power. His 28-year rule has led to criticism from even his loyal allies. They accuse Mugabe of becoming a despot and bankrupting Zimbabwe. ___ ___, The Associated Press less

The results are being tallied in Pakistan's long-awaited parliamentary elections. Sporadic violence on polling day killed at least 20 people, and the fear of attacks appears to have kept turnout low. It's estimated only 42 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots on Monday. But the first unofficial results suggest most of them backed opposition candidates. Pakistan's election commission is not expected to confirm the result until later on Tuesday. Tim Friend reports. less
