I will abide by Abuja deal, vows Mugabe

President Robert Mugabe gave his seal of approval yesterday to an agreement to stop illegal seizure of Zimbabwe's white-owned farms and rein in squatters. Returning to Harare after a week-long "working holiday" in Libya, he told journalists that he accepted the deal, which was hailed as a breakthrough by Commonwealth foreign ministers when it was signed in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, on Friday. But intimidation of opposition politicians and farm invasions continued.
