Failure by the
SADC Troika on Politics, Defence and Security to meet on the sidelines
of a ceremony to officially open new regional offices in Botswana,
revived debate over SADC's ability to resolve Zimbabwe's
political crisis.
The aborted meeting made headlines in both the government and private
media at the weekend.
While the official media and the private Press generally viewed
this as a snub on the two MDC formations that had allegedly requested
the meeting, the private electronic media insisted that SADC was
still concerned with Zimbabwe's political crisis, as evidenced
by South African President Jacob Zuma's imminent visit.
In other reports, the private media continued to express concern
over President Mugabe's call for early elections, insisting
that Zimbabwe had to implement comprehensive electoral reforms and
stop human rights abuses first.
The government media either ignored these concerns or discredited
them as having been motivated by an alleged fear of electoral defeat
by the MDC groups.
