Zimbabwe's 90-year-old President Robert Mugabe
fell down a staircase on Wednesday as he walked
off a podium after addressing supporters at Harare
international airport, an AFP correspondent said.
He had just returned from Ethiopia where he took
over the rotating chairmanship of the African Union.
Africa's oldest leader, who turns 91 later this month,
had concluded his homecoming speech when he
tumbled to his knees on a short flight of stairs in an
incident witnessed by journalists and hundreds of
supporters.


He was quickly helped up by aides and walked to a
waiting car.
Mugabe took over the post of African Union
chairman on Friday, replacing Mauritania's
President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz.
In his speech, Mugabe said he felt honoured that
Zimbabwe was elected chair of the AU, pledging to
use his position to push for development in the
continent.
"The AU must be the engine of development in
Africa. We should be the engine of development in
Africa," Mugabe said.
"We want real progress to be achieved to develop
all our countries."
He said "no African country" opposed Zimbabwe's
elevation to lead the organisation.
The former liberation war hero is Africa's third-
longest serving leader.
He was met at the airport by a group of cheering
supporters who raised placards with messages of
support.
"Your greatness resonates across Africa and
beyond" read one card.
The leader also used the opportunity to lambast
Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta for appearing
before the International Criminal Court (ICC), when
the AU had advised him against it.
"I told him that you will make your father's soul feel
ashamed. We don't want to hear that again."
Kenyatta, the son of Kenya's founding president
Jomo Kenyatta, was accused of crimes against
humanity for his alleged role in the violence that
followed the country's disputed presidential election
seven years ago.
The charges against him were later withdrawn
