Heavily armed police officers stormed a meeting of the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition, in Harare hotel this afternoon disrupting proceedings of an Annual General Meeting (AGM) of its members, including elections of office bearers.

This happened as South Africa's president Thabo Mbeki, mediator in Zimbabwe's power-sharing talks, arrived in Zimbabwe for what is expected to be a next leg in his efforts to enforce an unpopular government of national unity.

There will be an MDC Branch formation meeting of Nottingham Branch at The Art Organisation on Station Street, Nottingham NG23AJ 07949261503 or 07528629740 The meeting starts at 3pm.

Twelve youth organizations in Zimbabwe have urgently petitioned the SADC and the African Union to register their discontent over the visibly collapsed talks between theZanu (PF) and the MDC and urged African leaders to help intervene.

The student's contribution to breaking the deadlock in the dialogue was that the leaders should consider that there must be a transitional authority with a specific time-life, a people driven constitution-making making process must be initiated, delivery of economic and social service resumed, disbanding of militia bases and releasing of political detainees.
