In Zimbabwe, opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has been sworn in as prime minister as part of a power-sharing agreement with his longtime rival, President Robert Mugabe. Tsvangirai told reporters Tuesday he did not see himself as joining Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since it became a free country in 1980.

Morgan Tsvangirai: “Today marks another step in the long and difficult process to rebuild Zimbabwe and to restore its proud place in the family of nations. The road ahead is long, but we believe we must and can succeed.”
