So, Why is it taking all this long for Robert Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai to agree on this power-sharing deal that will end the political crisis in Zimbabwe?

Media speculation had raised hopes of a deal being signed by the past weekend, but nothing happened. President Mugabe said, there has been progress and a deal was likely. But now Robert Mugabe is under pressure to deal!

The problem seems to be POWER. It must mean everything to these politicians, but what about the ordinary citizens of Zimbabwe?

To the ordinary citizens of Zimbabwe, the power-sharing deal seems to be the only hope out of this miserable situation. Who would want to be in Zimbabwe at this time? There is a sever shortage of basic commodities in Zimbabwe, supermarkets are empty and recently the government suspended import duty on basic commodities. Is that the answer to all these food shortages?

Maybe in the short term, but what about the viability of local industries and the welfare of those workers who will find themselves out of employment when local industries are forced to shut down.

Zanu PF and the MDC resume power-sharing talks today(Tuesday) after two days of negotiations failed to produce a deal.

The main sticking issues seems to be, whether Mugabe is willing to give up his executive powers and take up a more ceremonial role, as for Morgan Tsvangirai, how much power should he get. Does he become the executive prime minister?

And what about those key issues of security forces?

We just hope these leaders will see sense and come to an agreement. The people of Zimbabwe have suffered and continue to suffer today, it’s time all this comes to an end.
