The Southern African Development Community has called an emergency meeting of its members on Saturday to discuss the post-election crisis in Zimbabwe, where the electoral authority has withheld the results of the March 29 presidential election and the government and opposition are at loggerheads over a mooted runoff ballot.
From Gaborone, Botswana, opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai urged the heads of state of the Southern African Development Community to “put their heads together” to resolve the crisis in Harare just as they intervened in March 2007 following a violent crackdown by the Zimbabwean government against its political opponents.
