Deal considered to oust Mugabe
President Robert Mugabe would resign and a new power-sharing government would be formed under a deal that has been discussed by Zimbabwe’s ruling party and opposition officials, mediators said today.
The offer was made by two of the ruling party’s most powerful figures - Parliament speaker Emmerson Mnangagwa and armed forces chief of staff Gen Vitalis Zvinavashe – and was an effort to help Zimbabwe regain international legitimacy and renewed aid and investment during a period of transitional rule, the mediators said.
