Soon to depart his Harare post, U.S. Ambassador to Zimbabwe James McGee in an interview with VOA on Thursday described as "wrong-minded" those who argue that the national unity government formed in February might need to stay in place for four or five years given the hurdles to organizing a new round of elections on a horizon of 18-24 months.
