The government of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has said it would not invite election observers from Western countries to monitor a presidential run-off unless they remove sanctions. Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa said Zimbabwe would not bow to pressure to invite election monitors from Western countries and the United Nations.
This contradicts the demands of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change. On the weekend, MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai said he would contest the run-off on the condition that international observers and media were given full access.
