Robert Mugabe Steps Down In Tears After 37 Years As President by Nobody: 6:56pm On Nov 19, 2017 |
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has agreed to step down after 37 years in power. [img][/img] The world's oldest leader is due to officially announce his departure on live television tonight. The news was greeted with ecstatic celebrations all over the country, with cars honking horns and crowds spontaneously taking to the streets of the capital. Hordes of people danced, sang and shouted anti-Mugabe slogans in scenes that looked likely to overshadow yesterday's protests on the streets of Harare tonight. It came after MailOnline exclusively revealed that the elderly dictator was in a state of psychological collapse, crying for his dead son and late first wife, refusing to speak or wash and staging a desperate hunger strike. Emmerson 'Crocodile' Mnangagwa, the former Vice President who was appointed the new leader of the Zanu-PF this morning, now looks destined to become Zimbabwe's new president as early as tomorrow. Ahead of his announcement, Mugabe broke down in tears and asked for his dead wife and son before meeting army chiefs on Sunday after being ousted as leader of Zimbabwe's Zanu-PF party, one of his aides has told MailOnline. The frail 93-year-old has until noon local time on Monday to resign as president or impeachment proceedings will start, Zanu-PF said. Mugabe was replaced by Mnangagwa after all ten Zimbabwean provinces passed no-confidence motions against the dictator two days earlier. Ahead of his meeting with army officials to discuss his exit, Mugabe was 'wailing profusely' and saying that he wished he could speak to his dead wife, Sally Mugabe, and his late son, Michael Nhamodzenyika, who died from cerebral malaria in 1966 at the age of three. 'He spends most of his time looking at an old photograph of Sally. It is terrible,' the aide said of Mugabe's first wife, who died of kidney failure in 1992. In 1996, Mugabe went on to marry his current wife, 'Gucci' Grace, who was also expelled from her role as head of the Zanu-PF Women's League 'forever'. The frail dictator has been staging a hunger strike over his confinement in house arrest and is refusing to take regular baths or speak, the aide added.

Let Mugabe shed Tears he made thousands of Zimbabwean shed during his dictatorship rule. Let Mugabe also learn to be an ordinary citizen just like others he trampled on. Let Lessons learnt from Mugabe's downfall serve as a real life lesson to his other sit- tight African Presidents. The sun will soon go down on all of them!! |

There is time for everything under the sun. It is time to depart. Zimbabweans should ask the sacked vice president to step down also. What Zimbabwe needs now is a fresh start. Not many African countries will ever be as lucky as they are right now. It is a golden opportunity they must make good use of 2 Likes |

Among all the excitement, nobody remembered to ask who was firing at who in the first day of the 'it's not a Coup', International media reported sounds of heavy arms and artillery and that was where that chapter of the news stopped. I feel for the forgotten casualties. 1 Like |

Finally, the western world has once again prevailed upon the black man. The forces of indirect rule have won. Zimbabweans, as Mugabe has stepped down, we fellow Africans are closely watching to see what that big difference you all sought for would be. We are watching the way the political, economical and infrastructural development of Zimbabwe would be. Maybe your country would end up being Just like Libya, One of the greatest achievements of the British colonialists is the transformation of the blackman to distrust himself and loose confidence in his kinsmen, his religion, his actions and his self worth and hence. 1 Like |

Zimbabwe's embattled leader Robert Mugabe has vowed to stay in power for several weeks, despite intensifying pressure on him to stand down. In a live TV address, Mr Mugabe said he would preside over the ruling party's congress in December. The Zanu-PF earlier sacked him as party leader, and gave him less than 24 hours to resign as president or be impeached. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-42046911 2 Likes
