Zimbabwe has been under a power-sharing government for over 100 days. At an annual democratic convention Prime Minister Tsvangirai reported that his party, Movement for Democratic Change, has yet to get control over rule of law in the country. According to Tsvangirai, President Mugabe is still using political intimidation and rights abuses to control the people. The fear all along was that Tsvangirai would be allowed in office as a figurehead without possessing any real power. While he’s trying hard not to let this happen, he’s having a difficult time getting a foothold. Sadly, this type of report hurts Zimbabwe as it tries to pull itself up from ruin. International institutions and foreign investors have stated that unless Tsvangirai can prove to be effective, further involvement in the country is not likely to occur.
