The Herald of Wednesday April 17 claims MDC-T backers have jumped ship following President Mugabe's meeting with an envoy from the US State Department who said his country was keen to normalise relations with Zimbabwe ahead of harmonised elections scheduled to be held by midnight June 29.
The State Department dispatched its former ambassador to the United Nations, Andrew Young, who met President Mugabe for over two hours at his Munhumutapa Offices to convey the message of reconciliation.
The US move, which comes on the heels of similar overtures from Britain and its allies who invited the Zimbabwe re-engagement team to London for talks last month, and the Commercial Farmers' Union that said it wanted to re-engage Zanu-PF, Herald says, indicates that MDC-T's handlers have realised that the regime change agenda has aborted and MDC-T cannot form the next government
Western media, among them CNN, The Guardian and New York Times, recently attacked Tsvangirai, saying his public image had been soiled by his sexual escapades while corruption within the rank and file of the party would play against his party at the polls.
