  1. A very depressing clip. I’m really not convinced that the situation will change on the back of this new powersharing government. It really didnt feel right watching Tsvangirai being sworn in by [President] Robert Mugabe, but as an optomist, perhaps the new PM will cancel the presidents plan for spending millions on his 85 birthday party whilst his people scrap for a bowl of anything they can get their hands on. It would be a good start.

    • I agree. It seems that as long as a dictator like Mugabe is allowed to rig elections, then any type of power sharing agreement will be pointless. He still controls all of the levels of power, sad as that is.
