World: Zimbabwe’s new PM: “culture of impunity” must end

  • I can assure that the culture of impunity and violation of human rights must end, and it must end today.
  • Morgan Tsvangirai • Who was sworn in as Zimbabwe’s new Prime Minister today. Tsvangirai should have a challenging time in office, considering he’ll be up against President Robert Mugabe, who’s perhaps most famous for his third-world country’s ever-inflating dollar. • source
