Sharm El-Sheikh - An African Union summit on Tuesday adopted a resolution calling for dialogue between Zimbabwe's political opponents and a government of national unity, a senior AU official said.

The AU resolved "to encourage President Robert Mugabe and the leader of the Movement for Democratic Change Morgan Tsvangirai to initiate dialogue with a view to promoting peace, stability," the official said, requesting anonymity.

It also resolved "to support the call for the creation of a government of national unity, to support SADC (Southern African Development Community) facilitation."

The SADC regional body has been leading mediation efforts between Mugabe and Tsvangirai following Friday's violence marred election that saw the veteran leader re-elected after his opponent withdrew.
