It's a coup, sanctioned by western government (it's obvious from their reporting) and it shouldn't be recognised in Africa because it would signal double standard and embolden military personnel to start plotting coup.

Mugabe might be different thing to different persons but this action might further lead to the degradation democracy in Africa. I hope AU takes the right stand on thus issue.

It's not going to lead to anything. Can't you see it's bloodless and the old man asked - literally - for it?

The citizens are happy with it, that is the most important.

The peoples interest should come first in every politics.

Even if it is a coup is still better, they should flush Mugabe out

Exactly which democracy are you talking about, with respect to Zimbabwe?

Newbiee:
AU must stand for constitutionality and not allow the western powers to influence their decision on this. The Mugabe era must be allowed to end in a constitutional way, not through the backdoor because of his wife's excesses.

This is a silly post. What have the western powers done other than to keep quiet and ignore Zimbabwe? We love to blame the western powers, while steadfastly refusing to hold ourselves accountable for our gross incompetence and inability to make anything work.

It's just a partial coup because the army restored the exiled V. P Emerson Nnangagwa as the President.

To me it's Revolution/Coup

laudate:

Which right stand? Mugabe has been there for donkey years, and things have steadily gone from bad to worse. And upon all that, he still wanted to perpetuate himself in power, and die in office. He even tried to make his wife, his successor. He manipulated the political scene so that free and fair elections could not hold, and hounded the opposition out of existence. In fact, I am surprised that he has not been overthrown before now. He should get out of Zimbabwe and never come back. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

AU should just turn a blind eye to the coup and recognise the incoming president. It would send a signal to sit-tight presidents, that if they refuse to leave quietly, they would be eased out noisily.

I am not a Mugabe fan and him thinking of handing power to his wife was stupid and unwise. I just want to point out that coup in any African country is like opening a Pandora box and you can't fathom the effect it would have on the sub region.

He has the constitutional mandate to govern his people and we can't allow African go back to the past of killings and coup plotting. African Union shouldn't accept this act same as Nigeria and most African nation never accepted coups that happened in West Africa.

MediumStout:
Biafra will never come

Lolx, guy I bow for your matter. Your brain is indeed a medium stout.

cashlurd:
It doesn't seem. It is a military coup!!! I also see the hands of western countries in this coup!
Trace back to Mugabe's approach to Donald Trump during the last convention where in like countries talked about their countries gifts and challenges: Trump talked about the North Korean threat, PMB kept on praising Trump without talking about his country, Putin opposed Trump and the only African President to openly oppose Trump was Mugabe!!!

Throwback to Gaddafi and his opposition to the USA and also to all other African Heads of states who opposed the USA In history.

One thing they have in common They have all been overthrown and forced into exile while some unlucky ones get killed!!

The western world wants to control Zimbabwe but Mugabe's strong opposition hindered them. This is one of the many ways to get him out of power and put his deputy in his place who can be easily controlled.

Africans be wise! Africans be woke!! Africans stand against western control of your resources!!!!

rubbish.

Good riddance to Mugabe. you conspiracy theorists that love seeing Zimbabwe in crisis should go and sit down.

i only hope that at 93, he stilll remains lucid enough to comprehend the magnitude of his fall.

a decent spell in prison for Mrs Mugabe may not be amiss.

Which constitutional mandate? He has manipulated every single electoral process in Zimbabwe since he got into power! The opposition has either been hounded into exile or chased into oblivion. He has been able to do all these, because he felt that no one could challenge him. On top of that his country's political, economic and social issues have gone from bad to worse. If AU supports the incoming govt, it would be recognising the will of the people for change and also be sending a strong signal to those who want to perpetuate themselves in power, that they would no longer have the support of the continental body.

If you are bothered about the legality, then AU can call for fresh elections in Zimbabwe after an interim govt is appointed by their parliament. But Mugabe must not be allowed to return to power.

ModsWillKillNL:
It's dicey.

Whenever a nation's constitution is undermined by the president, the military are bound to step in.

Nope. the legislature is the one to step in by impeaching the President. the legislature is an arm of government and a check against the government. Not the military

Na forced step down to transition

I do not have words for you brother. Africans have a history of hatred towards their fellow Africans. It is legendary. Have you ever asked yourself why Mugabe has been able to hold on to power for more than 30 years Why didn't the military intervene then or the Zimbabwe Nationals stage a massive protest? Do not be deceived by the cover up story. If you keep up with international politics, you will understand what the concept of "Indirect rule" actually means.

End of mugabe's regime. The only thing AU can do is to negotiate his peaceful exile along with his wife.

Guy, have you ever been to Zimbabwe or lived there for any length of time? If you have, you really won't be talking like this. Mugabe impoverished his country and wanted to die in office. Na im papa get Zim?

desreek9:
even if it's a coup, it is a bloodless one and i applaud them for that but mugabe brought it on himself, running the country like it's a family affair, naming his wife to succeed him like the country is an inheritance smh

Ma'am no matter how bad he has ruled, a civilian government should not be allowed to take over government. I don't know why you all are applauding the military. It is this same act that drove us into stagnation for 40years.

There are no saints in politics. They should conduct and election and remove him or better still impeach him. Let's stop celebrating rascality.

Well, you're right about African people hating themselves. you are a sterling example, lionizing Mugabe even after his actions led to the starvation deaths of thousands of Zimbabweans and a catastrophic economic collapse of the nation once known as the food basket of Southern Africa.

whine all you want about the west, but Mugabe is a thrice accursed scumbag and deserves his fate...and more!

This is gobbledygook. There is no constitutional mandate if you rig elections in your favor and install cronies who write the constitution to favor you clinging on to power till you die. When will Africans take their own destiny in their hands?

Which citizens, I am still amazed how most Nigerians react to news without doing their own home work.

I watch CNN, BBC etc like you but I know they have an agenda and removing Mugabe would be a very wonderful achievement. What do I mean, if I were them I would show you those persons that are happy with the coup.

Everyone has Allies and Foes, even Jesus was killed by his people does it mean the action was right and he he didn't have his own followers.

Not everyone in a nation or community has same interest. Personally he has overstayed in that office but a coup in Africa should not be supported because of its ripple effect.

Military coup or not, Sir Robert Mugabe is long overdue. The absurdity of one man ruling a country like a personal business is quite alarming. AU ought to have sanctioned Mr Mugabe long ago...to me "Good riddance", the country must move forward. All they needneed now is a good leader..

My brother please explain to them o. Because there are a lot of clueless people on this thread. Most African presidents are puppets installed by the Western world. And they rule and rape all these countries via the installed puppets. Mugabe took Zibabwe's land and gave it back to his country men. Prior to Mugabe, Zibabweans were tenants on their ancestral land, with all of the land being usurped by Europeans. They (Europeans) have not forgiven Mugabe for that. Africans as a whole must stop being gullible and stop buying wholesale into Western propaganda. Critical thinking is seriously needed.

That's only useful in serious nations where vote rigging, corruption and political subterfuge are not the order of the day. there is no independent legislature when the president manipulates elections or the legislators themselves merely see government office as a means of robbing the treasury.

How can they get a good leader, when the West sanctioned the coup for its nefarious reasons? All Zibabwean's are going to get is a stooge and indirect rule by the West, for the benefit of the West.

No brother I haven't. But neither have I been to Libya or Sudan before the destruction of their leaders. And from just those two examples, you should be able to see that after their destruction and consequent death, things fell apart in those countries.
