Zimbabwe opposition rejects claim

Zimbabwe\'s opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has rejected forming a unity government if he is not recognised as the winner of presidential elections.



African leaders called for a unity government days after Robert Mugabe won a run-off boycotted by the opposition.



Tsvangirai, who won the first-round vote, said the African Union should appoint another mediator to join South Africa\'s leader Thabo Mbeki.



Earlier, a spokesman for Mugabe welcomed the African Union’s call for dialogue.



The opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) leader withdrew from last week\'s poll citing widespread state-sponsored violence.



In a statement, the MDC said the resolution yesterday by African Union leaders did not adequately deal with the ongoing violence in Zimbabwe, which include reports of reprisal attacks on those who failed to vote for Mugabe on Friday.
