Harare:  Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai called on Thursday for President Robert Mugabe to step down after the military took control of the country.

"In the interest of the people of Zimbabwe, Mr Robert Mugabe must resign," Tsvangirai said, calling for a negotiated process to ease Zimbabwe through the transition of power.
