Zimbabwe dismisses calls for Kenya-style coalition

Tue Jul 1, 2008 5:35am EDT
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, July 1 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe dismissed calls for a Kenya-style grand coalition government on Tuesday to resolve an election crisis, saying the way out would be decided the "Zimbabwean way".

"Kenya is Kenya. Zimbabwe is Zimbabwe. We have our own history of evolving dialogue and resolving political impasses the Zimbabwean way. The Zimbabwean way, not the Kenyan way. Not at all," President Robert Mugabe's spokesman George Charamba told journalists at an African summit in Egypt. (Reporting by Cynthia Johnston and Daniel Wallis)
