The Latest on the Political Turmoil in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe has shocked the country by ending his address on national television without announcing his resignation, but he notes the political turmoil that led to his military house arrest and expulsion as ruling party leader.
“From tonight … the nation at all levels gets refocused,” Mugabe says.
He also says “failures of the past” may have triggered anger “in some quarters, which he calls “quite understandable.”
Original Story
What’s happening in Zimbabwe? Nobody really knows, not even people in Zimbabwe. In fact, as far as we can tell the people who were responsible for ousting Robert Mugabe as president aren’t really sure what’s happening. The uncertainty is thick and no answers are coming from the capital, Harare.
All we know for sure at this point is that Mugabe, the tyrant who has been making international headlines for decades but who has hit a tipping point in recent years as a universally despised leader, will be stepping down. Bloomberg reports he would prefer not to be impeached.
Mugabe Agrees to Stand Down as Zimbabwean President
Robert Mugabe has agreed to end his four-decade reign as the leader of Zimbabwe and is preparing a statement with the military authorities who took power last week, according to three people familiar with the situation.
President Mugabe, who at the age of 93 is the world’s oldest leader, took the decision after his ruling party told him to resign or face impeachment, according to the people, who declined to be identified.
The problem is that there’s no clarity about who is actually going to be in charge. It’s assumed that “The Crocodile,” Emmerson Mnangagwa, is likely to assume the role of President, but the military seems to be calling the shots. Mnangagwa’s connections to the military and their affection towards him doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll have full control once a transition is initiated.
Emmerson Mnangagwa: The ‘crocodile’ who snapped back
It has been an open secret in Zimbabwe for many years that Emmerson Mnangagwa wanted to succeed Robert Mugabe as president.
And Mr Mugabe has appeared to have toyed with his emotions – one day promoting him to senior positions in both the ruling Zanu-PF party and the government, raising speculation that Mr Mnangagwa was the “heir apparent”, but later demoting him after he possibly displayed his ambitions a bit too openly.
This story is developing quickly, though hopes that the state-run evening news would shed light on the situation were dashed when no formal announcement was made prior to airing.
