Zimbabwe opposition leader threatens to quit gov't
2008-10-14
(Xinhua) -- Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has threatened to pull out of a national unity government if President Robert Mugabe's party controls all the key ministries, local media reported on Monday.
I'm guessing that's Bob's plan ...
Tsvangirai told his supporters at Zimbabwe Grounds a rally on Sunday that his Movement for Democratic Change party would rather pull out of the power-sharing accord than accept a bad deal. Tsvangirai said he hopes South African mediator Thabo Mbeki will pressure Mugabe to respect the agreement to share power signed in September.

Mbeki arrives in Harare on Monday to try to break the deadlock in talks over Cabinet seats. The official Herald newspaper on Saturday published a list of ministries to be controlled by Mugabe' s party, including all the key ones.
