MDC leader agrees to attend summit

Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai will attend a summit in Harare next week aimed at saving an agreement to form a unity government with President Robert Mugabe, a spokesman said yesterday.

“We are not boycotting Monday’s meeting,” opposition spokesman Nelson Chamisa said.

“It is our hope that this meeting will bring closure and finality to this issue of power-sharing and enable Zimbabwe to respond to the dire situation which the people are facing,” he said.
