A Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) supporter wears a mask as he protests on outside the venue of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) meeting in Sandton November 9, 2008. Southern African leaders opened a regional summit on Zimbabwe in South Africa on Sunday, hoping to break a deadlock over the allocation of cabinet posts which has prevented formation of a power-sharing government. The 15-nation SADC meeting is trying to end the impasse between President Robert Mugabe and opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai and put into effect a power-sharing deal reached in September.
