Harare - Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai said on Thursday that power-sharing talks with President Robert Mugabe's government are deadlocked and called for a regional mediator to intervene.

"We have declared a deadlock and therefore the process cannot move forward except in the presence of the facilitator," he told reporters.

Former South African president Thabo Mbeki was the facilitator who brokered the deal, which calls on the rivals to form a unity government.

"We have informed the facilitator and he has responded. We have asked him to come over and he has said he will come over," Tsvangirai said.
