Zimbabwe: uneasy governing partnership
By African Bulletin on March 11, 2010
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said he would run in presidential elections expected next year, and called for African peacekeepers to protect voters in a country where politics has long been dogged by violence and fraud.
Mugabe, the 86-year-old, leading Zimbabwe since 1980, but forced into a power-sharing agreement with longtime opponent Tsvangirai a year ago, declared that he would run for re-election.
All of these statements give the flavor of the coming tensions and the slippery road that could take the supposed 2011 elections. Observers and politicians are looking ahead to the elections that will end the uneasy governing partnership of the two leaders.
