Zimbabwe Crises Is Like A Military Coup - AU by Nobody: 6:30pm On Nov 15, 2017

The head of the African Union on Wednesday said the crisis in Zimbabwe “seems like a coup” and called on the military to halt their actions and submit to constitutional order.

Alpha Conde, who is also Guinea’s president, said the AU condemned the actions of the top brass in the southern African nation as “clearly soldiers trying to take power by force”.

It's a coup, sanctioned by western government (it's obvious from their reporting) and it shouldn't be recognised in Africa because it would signal double standard and embolden military personnel to start plotting coup.

Mugabe might be different things to different persons but this action might further lead to the degradation of democracy in Africa. I hope AU takes the right stand on this issue.

I understand the Zimbabwean army see it as an insult that Grace mugabe a nonentity and power hungry fooool, is trying all she can to become president through the backdoor. but they must consider how Robert Mugabe has been able to give Zimbabweans back their lands and kept colonialists western vultures from exploiting and milking the country. the army better restore Mugabe back and ask him to resign willingly then his vice would take over.

anything outside that its a coup and the AU must not recognize the illegal government headed by the vice president.

AU must stand for constitutionality and not allow the western powers to influence their decision on this. The Mugabe era must be allowed to end in a constitutional way, not through the backdoor because of his wife's excesses.

It doesn't seem. It is a military coup!!! I also see the hands of western countries in this coup!
Trace back to Mugabe's approach to Donald Trump during the last convention where in like countries talked about their countries gifts and challenges: Trump talked about the North Korean threat, PMB kept on praising Trump without talking about his country, Putin opposed Trump and the only African President to openly oppose Trump was Mugabe!!!

Throwback to Gaddafi and his opposition to the USA and also to all other African Heads of states who opposed the USA In history.

One thing they have in common huh

They have all been overthrown and forced into exile while some unlucky ones get killed!!

The western world wants to control Zimbabwe but Mugabe's strong opposition hindered them. This is one of the many ways to get him out of power and put his deputy in his place who can be easily controlled.

Africans be wise! Africans be woke!! Africans stand against western control of your resources!!!!

Which right stand? huh

Mugabe has been there for donkey years, and things have steadily gone from bad to worse. And upon all that, he still wanted to perpetuate himself in power, and die in office. shocked

He even tried to make his wife, his successor. He manipulated the political scene so that free and fair elections could not hold, and hounded the opposition out of existence. In fact, I am surprised that he has not been overthrown before now. He should get out of Zimbabwe and never come back. Good riddance to bad rubbish! angry

AU should just turn a blind eye to the coup and recognise the incoming president. It would send a signal to sit-tight presidents, that if they refuse to leave quietly, they would be eased out noisily.

Seems? Why are Africans slow to discern like this na ..ofcourse its a fuckin coup plot and a democratic process has been clearly scuttled if Mugabe is left alive while the former VP takes over ...Dicey situation but it time Mugabe is eased through dialogue and coerced resignation so the democratic process is in no way scuttled
