Default Robert Mugabe has resigned after 30 years
Quote:
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has resigned, parliament speaker Jacob Mudenda has said.
A letter from Mr Mugabe said that the decision was voluntary and that he had made it to allow a smooth transfer of power, the Reuters news agency reports.
The surprise announcement halted an impeachment hearing that had begun against him.
Lawmakers roared in jubilation and people have begun celebrating in the streets.
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.
What triggered the moves to oust him was his dismissal of Emmerson Mnangagwa as vice-president two weeks ago.
That decision was seen by many as clearing the way for Mr Mugabe's wife, Grace, to succeed her husband as leader. It riled the military leadership, who stepped in and put Mr Mugabe under house arrest.

he is a neighbour from hell.

His goons in the trees with guns overlooking my house.

The way his men beat up my mums friend because she didnt get off the road fast enough for his motorcade.

Also why do we need to new thread for this?

So moved by the happiness of the people of Zimbabwe and so hoping they get the new Zimbabwe they are calling for. However the new President was a crony until he was ousted in favour of Gucci Grace so hoping they don't end up with more of the same.

I am so pleased for the people of Zim, but I hope they are not expecting too much in the way of a democratic future.
