Is MDC losing support in Africa?

The MDC has announced that it has not agreed to an agreement announced by the regional body SADC following mediation talks held in Pretoria South Africa on Monday.

A diplomat in Addis Ababa has said that the MDC had reneged after agreeing to a number of points in the agreement. "The fact that there was agreement behind closed doors in a discussion which Tsvangirai was a part of and then just moments later, his party came out to reject the agreement may have a detrimental effect on his support among African countries," explained the diplomat.
