Zim opposition to get Cabinet majority
On paper _ and it's a paper he has yet to sign or even publicly admit exists _ President Robert Mugabe appears to be acknowledging at last that he cannot rule Zimbabwe alone.Not with a bang, with a whimper? Mugabe, Zimbabwe's main opposition leader and a leader of a smaller opposition faction were to sign a power-sharing deal Monday that has resulted from weeks of negotiations mediated by South African President Thabo Mbeki. Mbeki and Morgan Tsvangirai, the main opposition leader, announced a deal late Thursday. They gave no details, saying the agreement would be made public Monday. Members of the opposition first gave the broad outlines Friday, and media controlled by Mugabe confirmed their version Sunday. Posted by: Fred 2008-09-15 |
