My Comment: This deal is not going to last. There is a transition period .... and it will be during this transition period that Robert Mugabe and his allies will torpedo this agreement. The idea that the Government and their allies will relinquish power to the opposition .... an opposition that they have imprisoned and murdered .... is something that is very hard to see.
