Robert Mugabe Arrested In Military Coup Resign(photos & Video) by Explorerx(m): 8:42am On Nov 15, 2017 |
ZIMBABWEAN tyrant Robert Mugabe was this morning booted out of office - as a military coup ended his 37-year iron grip on power. The country's ruling Zanu-PF party confirmed the southern African nation's 93-year-old president had been "detained" in a "bloodless transition". Explosions last night rocked the capital of Zimbabwe as the ringleaders of a feared coup promised dictator Robert Mugabe was safe for now Soldiers had earlier seized the country's state TV station after tanks rolled into capital Harare. Vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa has been installed a leader, a Twitter statement from the party said. The statement, issued this morning, said "Zimbabwe was not owned by Mugabe or his wife" - a reference to Grace Mugabe, who the statement accuses of "taking advantage" of the elderly despot. It added: "Last night the first family was detained and are safe, both for the constitution and the sanity of the nation this was necessary. "Today begins a fresh new era and comrade Mnangagwa will help us achieve a better Zimbabwe." Earlier, one plotter, wearing army fatigues, stormed the national TV station and told the nation the army was "targeting criminals" and was not planning "a military takeover of government". Robert Mugabe, 93, pictured with his wife Grace who it's believed is hoping to take over the country's leadership Zimbabwe ruling party Zanu-PF's statement The soldier, named as Major General S.B. Moyo, added that tyrant Mugabe and his family were "safe and sound" but warned "any provocation will be met with an appropriate response". The dramatic scenes came as heavy gunfire and shellfire was reported in capital Harare in the early hours of this morning. A heavily-armed force was yesterday seen rolling into the city and are believed to be targeting politicians around Mugabe that they consider "criminals". Major Moyo added: “We are only targeting criminals around who him who are committing crimes that are causing social and economic suffering in the country in order to bring them to justice. “As soon as we have accomplished our mission, we expect that the situation will return to normalcy.” The leaders of the action and the reason for it remains unclear. Last night the first family was detained and are safe, both for the constitution and the sanity of the nation this was necessary. Neither Zimbabwe nor ZANU are owned by Mugabe and his wife. Today begins a fresh new era and comrade Mnangagwa will help us achieve a better Zimbabwe. 7:42 AM - Nov 15, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8ndP04k5zY https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4912977/zimbabwe-robert-mugabe-latest-news-coup-arrested-harare/
