CoffinLodger 1,247 Posted November 15, 2017 Reports on twitter say he's under some kind of house arrest.The military have taken over state TV. I guess this means he's no longer President ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoffinLodger 1,247 Posted November 15, 2017 Looking increasingly like he has been toppled! His wife is reported to have fled the country, army seems to be in control of the country.There'sa shoot out between army and Mugabes presidential guard.Looks like the old mans decided to go down fighting! Good chance he's already dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thatcher 2,124 Posted November 15, 2017 The coup is complete - Mugabe has been detained and it seems is no longer in power. Former Vice President (who Mugabe sacked), Emmerson Mnangagwa is expected to serve as interim President. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,761 Posted November 15, 2017 Blimey, even the most resilient of strongmen's power can erode in seconds when old and frail, apparently. I suppose after how quickly Gadaffi fell, this shouldn't surprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,933 Posted November 15, 2017 Honestly never thought Mugabe would be toppled until he keeled over. My "armchair analyst" theory is that Mugabe is no longer capable of running the country, is ill and has engineered the coup to ensure Zanu-PF remain in power after he dies - given the rumours about Emmanuel Mnangawa standing for President.
