Coup in Zimbabwe: 11/21 Mugabe resigns!

[Strapped]

All those old corrupt leaders need to go

 

[Red Shield]

Funny how people forget the UK reneging on the Lancaster House agreement ...

Yep.

Then there was the fact that Mugabe didn't even want the land take backs. He had his hand forced by the war veterans

Now Zimbabwe is still a fukked up country without a fukked up leader. Lets hope things change.

Finally over. Let the people of Zim celebrate in peace, they deserve it.

So now the question is what country is giving him asylum or he going to chill out in his villa like Ian Smith did?

It's Africa in a system of white supremacy. It won't for the majority of the popl. Maybe for the wealthy, they might get wealthier.

If I had to guess they well let him chill in his village. If not his options for exile are:

South Africa (ANC would have no problem with this, but theres 3 million Zimbos in SA who hate him)

Singapore (owns properties there and gets his medical care there)

The next step is Parliament where ZANU holds a large majority. It is a point of no return, the officials that were praise singing last week are in public condemning the man. He has lost party support at the very least but the people who would be concerned are the top brass at the army. They could all be fired and have their life made difficult, there were reports that when Chiwenga came back from China he was about to be arrested. They made their play , they made it for Mnangagwa and roped in the war vets who had been completely purged from the party but they did not desire to make it a national issue. The military people would have the most to lose if he stays, i think ZANU people can weather the storm if they resolve that their expulsions followed due process. Even if he presides over Congress he cannot count on the various arms of the party anymore and the military.

So those who are going to lead now, I guess (I'm ignorant of the inner working here), what will change? Is the new boss just going to be just like the old boss or are there any progressive folks looking to take the country in a new direction looking to lead?

The ousted Vice President. The indications are he is open to re-engage the West and be open to business. He believes that the country has failed to keep up and Mugabe's policy had stalled , no new money was coming in, the Chinese weren't doing anything to replace financing from the West. He has also in the past been accused of protecting some white farmers and indicated that he wanted some of them to come back.

But what are his plans for distributing wealth among the poor?

 

[ESCAPADE]

Finally, however, there is still a lot of progress that Zimbabwe needs to make.

 

[malbaker86]

Lot of work to be done but this is a start

At this point the prevailing national consensus is that the land has already been distributed and the prevailing problem is that the state has failed in its efforts to support the new farmers in being productive. It is less distributive but more fixing the current mess.
