Mugabe swears in longtime rival Tsvangirai as prime minister, ushering in unity government
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe swore in his longtime rival Morgan Tsvangirai as prime minister Wednesday, ushering in a unity government in an extraordinary concession after nearly three decades of virtually unchallenged rule.
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe on Monday swore in two vice-presidents ahead of the arrival of former South African President Thabo Mbeki to try and break a deadlock in power-sharing talks with the opposition, a government official said.
