Zimbabwe’s opposition says a power-sharing deal is in jeopardy after President Robert Mugabe allocated key ministries to his ZANU-PF party.
A Zimbabwean government notice said Saturday that Mr. Mugabe gave control of the defense, home affairs and finance ministries to ZANU-PF.
The opposition called the move unilateral.
It was announced one day after talks between Mr. Mugabe, opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic Change and Arthur Mutambara, who heads a breakaway opposition faction.
The rivals agreed Friday to ask former South African President Thabo Mbeki to return to Harare to try to break the impasse.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has expressed concern about the stalemate and said it is critically important to get a government in place.
The former South African leader brokered the power-sharing deal that ended the crisis over this year’s disputed elections.
Thursday, Zimbabwean officials said the annual inflation rate rose to a record 231 million percent in July.
The United Nations World Food Program says nearly half the Zimbabwean population will need food aid by early next year.
