>HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe’s ruling party fired Robert Mugabe as its leader on Sunday and gave the 93-year-old less than 24 hours to quit as head of state or face impeachment, an attempt to force a peaceful end to his 37 years in power after a de facto coup.
>In scenes unthinkable just a week ago, the announcement was met by cheers from the 200 ZANU-PF delegates packed into the party’s Harare headquarters to seal the fate of Mugabe, whose support has crumbled in the four days since the army seized power.
>Mugabe’s 52-year-old wife Grace, who had harbored ambitions of succeeding her husband, was also expelled from the party, along with at least three cabinet ministers who had formed the backbone of her ‘G40’ political faction.
>Speaking before the meeting, war veterans’ leader Chris Mutsvangwa said Mugabe was running out of time to negotiate his departure and should leave the country while he could. He then followed up with threat to unleash the mob onto Mugabe if refused to go, telling reporters: “We will bring back the crowds and they will do their business.”
>“The president is gone. Long live the new president,” Mutsvangwa, who has led an 18-month campaign to remove Mugabe shouted, according to cellphone footage posted online.
Damn, I hoped that the country would continue to collapse. Ho well, there's always the next warlord ready to bring ruin to the state.
