| Description | OHANNESBURG — Lovemore Moyo, a senior leader in Zimbabwe’s opposition, on Friday likened the opposition’s power-sharing deal with President Robert Mugabe, its bitter enemy, to a “sister sister” accord. His homespun metaphor left a critical question unanswered: If the two estranged and hostile sisters cannot agree on how to revive the economically devastated country, which one prevails?
A day after the agreement was announced — though with essential parts still undisclosed — opposition officials and Western diplomats acknowledged that they were in the dark. Though the accord is to be celebrated in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital, on Monday before an audience of dignitaries from across Africa, crucial elements have yet to be resolved.
Morgan Tsvangirai, the opposition leader who is to become prime minister, and Mr. Mugabe, the 84-year-old president in power for 28 years, have until then to reach agreement on dividing the ministries between their parties and selecting people to fill the jobs. |
