Zimbabwe power-sharing deal to be signed

On paper – and it’s a paper he has yet to sign or even publicly admit exists - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe appears to be acknowledging at last that he cannot rule the African country alone.

Mr Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s main opposition leader and a leader of a smaller opposition faction will sign a power-sharing deal today that has resulted from weeks of negotiations mediated by South African President Thabo Mbeki.
