While all the parties seem to have agreed that the way forward may be a transitional government of national unity, Maroleng says achieving that is going to be extremely difficult.

尽管所有政党似乎都已认同应该形成全国统一的过渡期政府，M表示要达到这个要求非常的困难。

"On the one hand President Robert Mugabe insists on being recognized by the MDC as being legitimately elected and therefore having the right to convene such a government," he said. "While the MDC would argue that since they won the elections that were viewed to be largely free and fair on the the 29th of March, they（这里they怎么听几遍都。。） should actually have the right to convene and determine the composition of a government of national unity."

“一方面，总统RM坚持让MDC认可他是经过合法的选举才拥有此权利来组成这样一个政府，”他说，“另一方面，MDC争辩到既然他们在3月29日赢得了这些被视为自由公正的选举，他们就应该切实有权来集聚和决定国家统一政府的组成。

Mr. Mugabe's ZANU-PF has been anxious to get negotiations under way, perhaps to prevent the adoption this week of United Nations sanctions.

Mr.Mugabe的ZANU-PF紧张应对正在进行的谈判，本周或许能阻止联合国认可它。

But Maroleng cautions that if Mr. Mugabe does not get his way at the preliminary talks in Pretoria, the fear of sanctions may be overcome by anger and lead to a total disengagement by his ZANU-PF party, followed by increased suppression of the opposition and civil society.

但是Maroleng发出告诫，如果Mr.Mugabe在Pretoria的初步谈话中未如愿以偿，对制裁的恐惧将胜过愤怒，并导致ZANU-PF的彻底瓦解,随之而来的是反对党和民间社会的日增的压制.
