Zimbabweans queue for food outside a store in Harare, Friday April 11, 2008. Opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirayi, who says he won the country's  election has met with South Africa's president Thabo Mbeki and pressed the key regional leader to use his influence to persuade President Robert Mugabe to step down, an opposition spokesman said. It has been 13 days since a vote that Zimbabwe's 28-year ruler apparently lost, though official results have yet to be released.(AP Photo)HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - Police banned political rallies on Friday as the crisis deepened over Zimbabwe's unresolved presidential election, with a senior police official warning that anyone who defies the order "will be dealt with severely."

The opposition said it was considering whether to defy the ban and call a general strike.
