Harare: Zimbabwe's main rival political parties on Saturday condemned a spate of violent clashes among their supporters, which Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai blames on President Robert Mugabe's youth brigades.
In the last two weeks, MDC-T has traded accusations with ZANU-PF over attacks on some MDC members in townships around the capital Harare, including the burning down of a satellite party office.
In a rare joint statement by the rival parties - which was also signed by a small third party in Zimbabwe's unity government - the ZANU-PF and MDC Harare provincial leaders called for an end to political violence, and the police to act.
But they did not apportion blame on any party, saying investigations were still in progress.
