Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai met for four hours, the first meeting since Tsvangirai pulled out of the coalition government in mid-October, and his spokesperson says the talks ended with no agreement. “We are worlds apart on fundamental issues,” the BBC quotes him as saying. The pullout and failed meeting effectively leave Zimbabwe without an elected government: the coalition was formed in February 2009 under pressure from outside the country after election results showing Mugabe as winner were contested.
