Sept 11 (Reuters) - Below is reaction to Zimbabwe's power-sharing agreement reached between President Robert Mugabe and opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai on Thursday.

MARTIN RUPIYAH, DIRECTOR OF AFRICA RESEARCH, CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY

"There appears now to be a reluctance to come out from ZANU-PF, which means there have been major concessions from the government side in my view -- not only agreeing an executive prime minister's role for Morgan Tsvangirai but maybe a sharing of security posts."

"I don't think we are out of the woods yet in terms of the Zimbabwe crisis. There are a number of pieces that still have to fall into place. One is the role of the military. That still has to be addressed directly. Also in the recent weeks or days there has been an upsurge in violence. The infrastructure for state-sponsored violence is still in place. I still have my doubts as to how this deal will impact the structures on the ground." (Reporting by Matthew Tostevin)
