OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso — Zimbab we’s foreign minister said Tuesday that President Robert Mugabe is ready to form a unity government, but he remained vague on the role opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai would play.
In New York, the 15-nation U.N. Security Council met Tuesday to discuss Zimbabwe, and French and U.S. officials said a majority of council member countries support a proposal to sanction Zimbabwe and freeze Mugabe’s assets. But they also said Russia might veto the plan.
Despite international condemnation, Mugabe went ahead with a one-candidate election last month after Tsvangirai withdrew because of a wave of violence. Mugabe declared himself the winner and was inaugurated for a sixth term.
