Inside Zimbabwe, February 11, SPA -- Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai was sworn in as prime minister of Zimbabwe Wednesday as part of a new unity government that Zimbabweans hope will signal an end to the political and economic crises that have gripped the nation for months, CNN reported. The unity government is the result of a power-sharing agreement reached in September between Morgan Tsvangirai -- the leader of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) -- and President Robert Mugabe after months of squabbling about the results of elections earlier in the year. Attendees applauded as Mugabe administered the oath of office to his rival. Wednesday morning, the country wore a festive look. Police presence was heavy, but the air was light. A group of riot policemen sat in a truck singing songs in one city. Elsewhere, people crowded newspaper stands to buy up the last remaining copies of the day's edition. The headlines spoke of a brand-new day full of promise.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/634568
