LONDON — Protesters shouted Zimbabwe’s Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai off stage Saturday when he appealed to exiles to return to the battered African nation.
Tsvangirai, who reluctantly joined President Robert Mugabe in a power- sharing deal in February, made the appeal to exiles in a London church on Saturday but was forced off stage briefly by protesters who want Mugabe to step down after 28 years in power.
“Zimbabweans must come home,” Tsvangirai told a crowd of about 1,000 people. “We have also made sure that there is peace and stability in the country.”
Tsvangirai was then bombarded with shouts and chants of “Mugabe must go!”
He returned to the stage to answer questions but only after church officials managed to calm the crowd.
