Zimbabwe's two bitter political rivals — President Robert Mugabe and the opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangarai — have signed a power-sharing deal aimed at resolving the country's political and economic crisis. The two men smiled and shook hands in a colorful ceremony in the capital, Harare, attended by African leaders. Under the deal, Mugabe remains president while Tsvangirai becomes prime minister with substantial powers.
