[Pak Daily Times] Zimbabwe's prime minister filed a lawsuit Thursday against President Bob Muggsy Mugabe, alleging he violated the constitution and a power-sharing agreement. Morgan Tsvangirai said he seeks annulment of Mugabe's unilateral appointment of 10 provincial governors last month, which he alleged in court papers intentionally violated the constitution. He pointed out that the power-sharing agreement requires the president to consult with the prime minister before making key appointments, and that Mugabe did not. The presidency did not immediately comment. In October, Tsvangirai sent letters asking the United Nations, aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society, European Union and four nations not to recognize six ambassadors that he said Mugabe appointed without consulting him. The UN said it couldn't disown Zimbabwe's UN ambassador, but said it would urge full implementation of the power-sharing deal. The coalition government was formed after disputed, violence-marred 2008 elections. |
