Mutambara, Mugabe meet
President Robert Mugabe and Movement for Democratic Change formation leader Arthur Mutambara held a meeting to discussion the formation of the long-delayed a unity government, according to sources.

Mr. Mugabe and Mutambara met on Wednesday evening just before the expiration of a January 1 deadline set by Tsvangirai in issuing an ultimatum demanding the release of detained activists, failing which he pull out the MDC from the power-sharing talks.
Mr. Mugabe and Mutambara according to sources discussed issues including the composition of the cabinet in the proposed unity government, and that they concluded that there could be no forward movement without Tsvangirai’s participation in further meetings and eventually in the long-mooted “all-inclusive” government.
Mutambara MDC faction Secretary General Welshman Ncube confirmed that Mutambara and Mugabe discussed the issues blocking the formation of a government.
