MDC snubs Mugabe cabinet meeting

Harare, 29 June-(ANA)-Ministers from Zimbabwe's ex-opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) have boycotted a cabinet meeting chaired by President Robert Mugabe.

The meeting, usually held on a Tuesday, was brought forward as Mr Mugabe is off to Libya for an African Union summit.

When Mr Mugabe is away, MDC leader and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai chairs the cabinet gathering.

The MDC joined a unity government with Mr Mugabe in February following disputed elections last year.

Mr Mugabe's Zanu-PF party "has not welcomed MDC as an equal", MDC Vice President Thokozani Khupe said.

She said the decision to move the meeting "reflects unilateralism, disrespect, contempt and refusal to recognise the reality and the letter of the global political agreement", AFP news agency quotes her as saying. (ANA)
