He has finally resigned watching live on CNN. Pics and details to follow.


Harare, Zimbabwe (CNN)Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has resigned, the speaker of the country's Parliament said, bringing an end to his 37 years of rule.

The announcement came as Parliament began proceedings to impeach him, six days after the military seized control in the capital, Harare.
Mugabe's resignation marks the an end of an era in Zimbabwe -- he ruled the country with an iron fist for almost four decades and is the only leader the nation has known since it achieved independence from Britain in 1980.

Like I do tell close people around me, how I wish God can raise up a Jerry J. Rawlings for us in Nigeria. Just watch and see how things will get better for them in Zimbabwe so far it was a bloodless ousting and not a revolution like they has in Egypt, Libya and co. See Ghana today, their economy is on geometrical rise. But our own politicians have held us to ransom. The God that did it for the Zimbabweans will do it for us peacefully too in Nigeria without any chaos, riot or war. AMEN!!!!!!!!

Its not about things getting better, its about do your part and leave the place.

Mandela did just a term not because he couldn't impose himself or ran out of ideas on how to move South Africa forward. He understood what Democracy is all about.

Sapiosexuality:
Still undemocratic. No matter how they try make the thing appear democratic, it is not. Democracy doesn't work like that. You don't make change in a democracy like that. What happened is a coup. No afterthought can change that.

Power and life is transient. Mugabe who once boasted no military coup can remove him is now under house arrest by the military.

The condemnation by the war veterans in 2016 of abandoning the revolution didn’t help his case either. They had accused him of promoting corruption and said they will not support him in next year’s election.

His treatment of the white farmers in his country didn’t help him or his country either and the sanctions he got suffered the country.

Till now, none of the western counties, who love to promote democratic values, has condemned the military coup. Tacit support or endorsement?

His wife has received criticisms and Mugabe’s attempt to pass her the touch annoyed the military, politicians and revolutionaries more. It seems everyone is finally fed up with him that even when democratic values are shattered to remove him, no one seem to care.

In Egypt when a similar thing happened, it was regarded as a ‘military intervention’ by the US and other powers when obviously a coup happened. What happened in Zimbabwe is a coup but unfortunately, Mugabe has annoyed so many people, destroyed so many laws and his authoritarianism has made it difficult to speak about him in the democratic language.

I would take the Devil's deal (which almost all the time never ends well) if I foresaw some good coming from it.

They were all at that point...due process be damned.
