Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change has delivered a letter to the election commission confirming its withdrawal from Friday's presidential run-off.
The United Nations Security Council has condemned Zimbabwe's government for waging a campaign of violence against opponents, making it impossible to hold free and fair elections. Several African countries have also expressed concern. South Africa has backed the UN Security Council resolution, and Senegal's President Abdoulaye Wade has called for Friday's presidential election run-off to be postponed. Opposition candidate Morgan Tsvangirai has taken refuge in the Dutch embassy in Harare, after soldiers tried to arrest him on the weekend.
