World Condemnation Of Zimbabwe Grows

President Robert Mugabe faced deeper international isolation Wednesday with African states demanding that a discredited runoff election be postponed and anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela rebuking the Zimbabwe leader for the first time. Tougher sanctions, sporting bans and economic boycotts could be next. World support may build for opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, who called Wednesday for talks on power sharing. Regional heads of state from southern Africa met in Swaziland and said Friday's runoff should be postponed until conditions permited a free and fair vote. President Bush said the runoff election appears to be a "sham", joining the international condemnation of Mugabe's actions.
