The MDC sees power-sharing talks collapsing.
Between the less-than-good-faith "mediation" to date by T. Mbeki of South Africa, and the almost embarrassing effort by "The Elders" last week to involve themselves in the situation in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia), one really can't blame the opposition party for believing they are being set up and sold out.
On the ironic side, given the history of J. Carter as one of R. Mugabe's chief enablers-to-power, the fact that the Mugabe regime wouldn't issue visas to "The Elders" does rather bring tears to my eyes. Tears of laughter, that is.
At least one reasonable voice is speaking out on this.
"If no petrol went in for a week, he can't last," Skelemani told the BBC's HARDtalk programme, broadcast on Wednesday.

In related (and very good) news, the U.S. DeptTreasury's OFAC has added several Mugabe cronies to the SDN list. It is tough to run a kleptocracy if one can not get the profits out, after all.
