Zimbabwe’s military says it has deposed President
Robert Mugabe and first lady Grace Mugabe and
has appointed recently ousted Vice President
Emmerson Mnangagwa as interim president. This comes just one
week after President Mugabe ousted the vice president—who’s a
close ally of Zimbabwe’s army chief. Witnesses reported seeing
armored personnel carriers in the streets, with heavy gun and artillery
fire in parts of the capital Harare. Zimbabwe’s military denied it had
carried out a coup. A military spokesperson said on state television
the action was taken to “target criminals” surrounding the 93-year-
old, seven-term leader.
