A historic development in Zimbabwe’s history has seen Morgan Tsvangirai take his oath as prime minister.
His opponent Robert Mugabe administered the oath. The pair have formed a coalition aimed at saving the ruined country.
The once prosperous Zimbabwe now has a 90% unemployment rate and is in the grips of a cholera outbreak, which has claimed around 3,400 people lives.
Mr Mugabe and Mr Tsvangirai have been in a power-sharing struggle since Mr Tsvangirai won the first round of presidential elections in 2008.
