Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has rejected forming a government of national unity with President Robert Mugabe, saying it would not solve the country's crisis.
Tsvangirai told reporters in Harare that his opposition Movement for Democratic Change should be recognised as the "legitimate government" of Zimbabwe. He added that any negotiations with Robert Mugabe's government had to be on the basis of March 29 elections.
