The Caspian Hare Posted November 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2017 http://www.france24.com/en/20171115-explosions-heard-zimbabwe-capital-harare-coup-mugabe Quote Zimbabwe's military appeared to be in control of the country Wednesday as generals denied staging a coup but used state television to vow to target "criminals" close to President Robert Mugabe. Mugabe's decades-long grip on power was dramatically weakened as military vehicles blocked roads outside the parliament in Harare and senior soldiers delivered a late-night television address to the nation. "We wish to assure the nation that his excellency the president... and his family are safe and sound and their security is guaranteed," Major General Sibusiso Moyo said, slowly reading out a statement. "We are only targeting criminals around him who are committing crimes... As soon as we have accomplished our mission we expect that the situation will return to normalcy." Moyo said "this is not a military takeover of government". Do not think he is actually out of power / under arrest, they just clip his wings a little, but exact situation is still murky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minister, said to be one of President Robert Mugabe's most corrupt officials, was among the first ministers detained by the army as Generals deposed the 93-year-old Zanu PF leader from power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
