Following the interim take over of Zimbabwe government by military arm,
the country’s ruling party Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic
Front (ZANU -PF) on Wednesday, November 15, 2017 has announced that
there was no coup in the country, only that President Robert Mugabe and
his wife, have been detained and that the president has been replaced
with Emmerson Mnagngawa, the vice president who was sacked a week ago
and exiled by Mugabe.
They wrote on Twitter an hour ago, “Zimbabwe has not had a coup. There
has been a decision to intervene because our constitution had been
undermined, in the interim Comrade E Mnagngawa will be president of ZANU
PF as per the constitution of our revolutionary organisation.
In a series of tweets, the ruling party went on to indicate that the
action of the military has the backing of politicians in the country.
Recall in a 1980 interview that Mugabe granted to BBC shortly after he took power, he boosted that no military can remove him as he intends to rule the country with firmness.
