Harare (AFP) April 5, 2008
Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai accused President Robert Mugabe's ruling ZANU-PF party on Saturday of preparing a "war" against the people of Zimbabwe.
"ZANU-PF is preparing a war against the people of Zimbabwe such as we witnessed in 2000," he told reporters, in reference to violence which followed Mugabe's defeat in a referendum on presidential powers eight years ago.
