Balance of Power

Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai will meet with President Robert Mugabe in an effort to salvage the decrepit power-sharing deal between the two.

I'm unsure why the media continues to call Tsvangirai the "opposition leader" when the elections in Zimbabwe are long behind us and the so-called "unity government," which is entirely in disrepair, is supposed to be leading.

The article refers to the meeting as one of Zimbabwe's "last chances" of saving itself from becoming a failed state, but it is obvious Zimbabwe, largely due to Mugabe's dereliction of duty and leadership, has already earned itself that label. I think the international community or the AU need to apply pressure on Mugabe to get the hell out of there.
