(SomaliNet) While delivering his speech at the official opening of parliament, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe was heckled and jeered by the opposition on Tuesday.

According to media reports, angry opposition MPs booed Mugabe when he declared that \"landmark agreements have been concluded with every expectation that everybody will sign up\".

Opposition MPs later sang \"Zanu-PF is rotten\" with a number of senior Movement for Democratic Change leaders present despite the party earlier indicating it would boycott the opening over the lack of progress in power-sharing negotiations.-AFP
