Finally Mugabe bows to pressure, resigns
London, Nov. 21, 2017 (AltAfrika)-Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe has resigned, parliament speaker Jacob Mudenda says.
A letter from Mr Mugabe said the decision was voluntary, Reuters news agency reports.
The surprise announcement came as lawmakers debated an impeachment motion against Mr Mugabe in a joint sitting of parliament.
Mr Mugabe had previously refused to resign despite last week’s military takeover, and days of protests.
He has been in power since independence in 1980
In as much as i have wanted Mugabe to go for several years, the method with which he was removed is disgraceful to a man who fought for the liberation of Zimbabweans from oppression. They should do better.
