Zimbabwe: Mugabe and Tsvangirai in 'constitution deal'


Zimbabwe’s rival political leaders say they have reached an agreement over a new constitution which removes a key obstacle in the process by which elections are held. President Mugabe announced that he was “glad” a deal had been reached, while Prime Minister Tsvangirai stated that “a long journey” had ended. The prime minister had set the adoption of a constitution as a condition for polls due later this year. Details of the deal have not been made public, but it is understood that the powers of the president have been curbed - a key demand of the MDC.
