This may sound like an 

honor but it is much like

 being named captain of the

Titanic after it hit the iceberg.

Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has been sworn in as prime minister in a unity government with President Robert Mugabe.

Mr Tsvangirai won the first round of last year's presidential election, but refused to take part in a run-off in protest against attacks on his supporters.

At a rally after his swearing-in, the new prime minister said he wanted to stabilise the economy, and he called for an end to political violence.
