Zimbabwe

Question
What is their assessment of the allocation by Robert Mugabe of portfolios in the proposed Government of Zimbabwe.
Answer

My Lords, along with other EU states, we have condemned Robert Mugabe's unilateral allocation of ministerial portfolios. The allocation of portfolios needs to be agreed by all parties and reflect the will of the Zimbabwean people as expressed in the 29 March elections, which gave Morgan Tsvangirai and the MDC a clear majority.
