Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has threatened to break off power-sharing talks if opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai declines a deal in their next meeting.
The two sides are due to meet tomorrow for talks mediated by South African President Kgalema Motlanthe, who hopes to salvage a unity accord that stalled almost as soon as it was signed in September.
Officials in the opposition Movement for Democratic Change met today to agree a position on the deal.
MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa said the party's national executive would take a view on the dialogue process and decide what are the issues 'we would like to see as away forward.'
'There has to be finality to the dialogue process - either in failure or in success. We can't continue with dialogue,' he said.
The UN children's agency chief said yesterday after talks with Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe that he now recognises the cholera epidemic, which already killed more than 2,200 people.
Mr Mugabe had claimed in a nationally broadcast speech last month that there was no cholera in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe introduced a 100 trillion dollar note last Friday, in its latest attempt to keep pace with hyperinflation.
The new 100,000,000,000,000 Zim-dollar bill would have been worth about €225 at Thursday's exchange rate on the informal market, but the value of the local currency erodes dramatically every day.
