Subject: RE: BS: Views on Mugabe Zimbabwe
My understanding of the "deal" is that Morgan Tsvangirai will be Prime Minister and Mugabe would be a figurehead President:
"The main opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, was the first to announce the deal between Mr Mugabe's Zanu-PF party and his own Movement for Democratic Change as he left the talks in Harare. However there was no immediate comment from Mr Mugabe or Zanu-PF spokesmen."
President Mbeki from South Africa evidently brokered the deal.
Hopefully the Zimbabwe people will finally get a chance to put their country back together again.
