In Zimbabwe, in southern Africa, Robert Mugabe may still be president, but his cabinet is in crisis.
The cabinet seats for his party total fifteen.
These cabinet seats control finance, foreign affairs, police, justice and government information.
The main opposition party currently controls thirteen cabinet seats. 
According to U-S officials, an economic blockade on food and investment will be lifted if the government of Zimbabwe increases the number of cabinet seats of the opposition.
Obi Egbuna is a correspondent with the Zimbabwean Herald and a member of the Pan-African Liberation Organization:
While the economy of Zimbabwe remains in crisis, those closest to President Robert Mugabe are doing quite well financially.
