Mugabe acrimony over, Tsvangirai

Harare, 07 June-(ANA)-Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has said that the "acrimony is over" between him and President Robert Mugabe.

He made the remarks ahead of a tour of Europe and the US to garner support for his country's four-month-old power-sharing government.

He is to meet UK PM Gordon Brown and US President Barack Obama, among others.

Zimbabwe needs $45bn (£28bn) in the next five years to revive an economy mauled by years of political conflict.

Zimbabwe's unity government between the former bitter enemies was inaugurated in February, ending months of political crisis following disputed elections.

“ We hope the gains we've made so far will convince even the most sceptical this government is consolidated ” , Tsvangirai said.

Earlier this week the European Union authorised $11m (£7m) in humanitarian aid for Zimbabwe.

But most Western donors have said they will only reopen their purses for Zimbabwe when they see evidence of genuine power-sharing, an end to farm seizures and a restoration of the rule of law. (ANA)
