Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai pulled out of the country's general election on Sunday, saying the rising tide of violence and repression against his supporters by Robert Mugabe's regime made an uncompromised election impossible. At a news conference in the Zimbabwean capital Harare, the leader of the Movement for Democratic Change (M.D.C.) said, "Conditions as of today do not permit the holding of a credible poll.

Earlier hopes that the vote might end Mugabe's 28-year rule quickly evaporated.
