Aug 26 – Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe opens parliament in defiance of opposition objections – but is jeered and heckled.

President Mugabe said there was "every expectation" of a power-sharing deal to end a post-election political crisis.

The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) said Mugabe had no right to open the chamber and warned that the move would endanger the deadlocked negotiations.
