No new power-sharing formula premised on Mugabe remaining president and
Tsvangirai becoming prime minister seems likely to produce a workable
outcome. Nor does it seem realistic to contemplate any non-negotiated
solution to the deadlock. Additional sanctions and other forms of
external pressure could be applied but seem unlikely to be productive
in the absence of a new approach. Despite the calls increasingly being
made for outright military intervention to resolve the crisis, this
seems a wholly unrealistic option, not least because regional
resistance to any such course remains intense.
