A frankly nonplussed world looked on yesterday as Robert Mugabe of ZANU-PF shook hands on the beginning of talks that should end in a coalition government with Morgan Tsvangirai and his party the MDC.
.. It was like a bolt from the blue, especially with the violence on the streets gaining momentum, as well as the fact that both men are said not to have spoken to each other in 10 years..
Barely concealed resentment for each other was evident, which begs for cautious optimism. The road they start upon would not be easy..
As tenuous as all this may seem to the critics however, the happenings of the last 24 hours is yet another positive for crises resolution in Africa..
Like the Kibaki/Odinga experience in Kenya, with the help of fellow Africans Zimbabwe's big man agrees to talk with his adversary for the sake of peace..
