Analysts say the agreement was vague on who would actually have the upper hand in running the government, and Mugabe and his generals have left no doubt that they intend to retain control of the real levers of power. "I think the game plan is to assume that the MDC has been softened up enough [by the past months of violence]] to ensure that they don't really stray into the areas that the generals don't want them...
