The BBC notes that - Talks between Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and the new Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai have failed to reach agreement on a unity cabinet.
The two signed a power-sharing deal nearly three weeks ago after disputed presidential elections in June.
It was agreed that Mr Mugabe - Zimbabwe's leader for three decades - would remain president while Mr Tsvangirai would become prime minister.
Both sides said they would meet early next week to resume negotiations.
A spokesman for Mr Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) said the discussions had been "frank and realistic" but that negotiations remained deadlocked.
Mr Mugabe's spokesman, George Charamba, said differences remained over who should hold the finance and home affairs portfolios.
Former South African President Thabo Mbeki has confirmed he will continue his efforts to mediate the deadlock in Zimbabwe.
Mugger Mugabe will never give in will he? His tenacious ability to cling to power is incredible.
