Why have the talks failed?
A political deadlock over who will control the government has hindered efforts to ease Zimbabwe's economic crisis.
The talks were aimed at ironing out the power-sharing deal. While the two rivals have broadly agreed that Mugabe will be President and Tsvangirai will become the nation's prime minister, the demand that the prime minister will be the head of the government and the Cabinet has not gone down well with Mugabe.
However, efforts are on in right earnest to find a solution to this problem.
