Mugabe Must Share Power
Editorial, The New York Times | October 16, 2008
President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe is bucking the power-sharing deal with Morgan Tsvangirai, the opposition leader. ++ Mugabe wants to fill the security ministries with his loyalists, including those controlling the army and police. ++ Tsvangirai has called for a new power-sharing deal. ++ The US, EU and the rest of Africa must pressure Mugabe to accept this new deal, and international recognition of his government must be withheld until he does. ++ Denying visas and freezing assets could prove persuasive.
