Considering the excessive violence towards supporters, an understandable decision. The regional leaders including Thabo Mbeki have a lot of explaining to do for their years of inaction and support of Robert Mugabe.
Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has decided to pull out of the presidential run-off on 27 June, party officials have told the BBC.
The decision, taken at a meeting of the leadership of the Movement for Democratic Change in Harare, means Robert Mugabe will remain as president.
The MDC says the decision comes after at least 70 of its supporters have been killed in the run-up to the poll.
