Zimbabwe talks to continue

Posted: 08:55 PM ET

HARARE, Zimbabwe (CNN) - After meeting for several hours for power-sharing negotiations, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe and opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai adjourned the talks early Monday - apparently without reaching an agreement.

The meeting was mediated by South African President Thabo Mbeki.

"We have not finished," Mugabe told reporters after the meeting adjourned. "We obviously have sticking points like in any talks, but we look forward to overcome them."

The talks were scheduled to resume Monday at 2 p.m. (8 a.m. ET).

Sources close to the talks said the meetings would bring the political rivals face-to-face - the first meeting between the two since the talks began two weeks ago.
