Zimbabwe's Tsvangirai ends refuge in Dutch embassy

AMSTERDAM, July 1 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has returned home after leaving the Dutch embassy in Harare where he took refuge from political violence last week, the Dutch government said on Tuesday.

Tsvangirai left the embassy on Monday but was always welcome back and the Netherlands would stay in touch with him, a foreign ministry spokesman said, adding that the Netherlands hoped he could play a role in some kind of transitional government.
