Even as Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai has reached out to try to get negotiations with Robert Mugabe and his ZANU-PF going again, Mugabe has threatened to break off the talks if Tsvangirai does not agree to the next deal that comes his way. As usual the people of Zimbabwe are the ones caught in the political vice, as most external aid is contingent on the principals reaching an agreement. With the ultimatum Mugabe has put forth, what possible reason does he have to act in good faith, especially since he has shown no desire to share power to begin with, or for Tsvangirai to assume good faith on Mugabe's part and thus to feel as if he can negotiate earnestly and aggressively?
