Zimbabwe Leaders Hope to Unify Gov’t
Zimbabwe leaders will meet Tuesday in hopes of finalizing a power-sharing deal that has been in the works since September, reports CNN. After months of talks, Zimbabwe’s main opposition party, Movement for Democratic Change, agreed to join a unity government with longtime leader Robert Mugabe’s party ZANU-Pf Friday. In the coalition government, Mugabe will retain his title and MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai will serve as prime minister. “It remains our fervent hope that the outstanding issues are successfully resolved followed by debate, passing and enactment” of an amendment allowing the unity government to be formed. The amendment is needed for Tsvangirai to be sworn in next week. Some key points of contention, though, are fair division of important cabinet posts, the release of party members currently detained and the constitutional amendment. The country has seen its share of difficulties during the political violence and uncertainty that plagued 2008. The out-of-control inflation rate has caused the nation to ditch its own currency, and a cholera epidemic has claimed the lives of thousands of people.
