Mugabe Sworn In: Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe was sworn in for his sixth term Monday.
Mugabe had finished second in the general election in March, but Morgan Tsvangirai did not get the required 50% of the vote to win outright.
Tsvangirai pulled out of Friday's general election after violence against members of the Movement for Democrat Change (MDC) left 80 people dead and thousands injured.
The MDC and Mugabe's ZANU-PF have both rejected the possibility of a unity government similar to the one set up after Kenya's disputed presidential election.
