The fall of Mugabe? Zimbabwe military detains president

2017-11-15 0

This time, it finally looks like the end for Robert Mugabe. Zimbabwe's 93-year old president has not spoken since the military moved in overnight and seized key points of the capital Harare. They insist it's not a coup - but it sure looks like one. Some might even call it a palace coup, since it's supporters of newly ousted vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa versus those close to 52-year-old First Lady Grace Mugabe. What's next for a country that was once the breadbasket of southern Africa?
