International brief

Mugabe agrees to share power

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe signed a power-sharing deal in Harare Monday, agreeing to make rival Morgan Tsvangirai the prime minister.

It is the first time in 28 years Mugabe will share his power, The Washington Post reported.

Both leaders agreed to work together to fix the failing economy.

At the signing, supporters of both leaders threw stones at each other, according to The Post. Police set dogs on the crowd and fired warning shots before the crowd calmed.

The leaders will draft a new constitution using input from civic groups, The Post reported.
