Robert Mugabe Inaugurated as President of Zimbabwe


(29 June 08 - RV) Leader Robert Mugabe was inaugurated for a fresh five-year term today after being declared landslide winner of a presidential run-off in which he was the only candidate.
Offiical results showed low turnout and high numbers of voters having spoiled their ballots by defacing them or marking them inaccurately, apparently as an act of protest.
Robert Mugabe is expected to attend an African Union summit that opens tomorrow in Egypt.
We spoke to the Press Officer of the Zimbabwe Vigil in London Dennis Benton who says neighbouring African countries need to take action.
