Hope for Zimbabwe in South African Mediated Talks


(11 July 08 - RV) Zimbabwe has warned the U.N. Security Council that the sanctions it is considering could push the African nation toward civil war. The warning came after an EU parliamentary vote yesterday approved such sanctions. Meanwhile, representatives from Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe’s Zanu-PF Party and the opposition party, Movement for Democratic Change, are in South Africa for the second day of talks aimed at bringing a resolution to the violent political crisis. South African President Thabo Mbeki has been mediating the talks.
