I agree w segun. I can't imagine zim could have had a worse 10-15 years since he turned autocrat, and I don't believe he maintained his position without the army. Now he bucked them to put his wife in office. How much worse could it have been? No excuses any more, African states deserve decent rule, not simply good rulers. He was bad on both scores, after having been a hero of independence… how different from a nyerere he has been

This should never have happened but for the unbridled selfishness of Mugabe who should have retired long time ago coupled with inordinate ambition of his current wife to maneuver into position to succeed her husband—a very poor political calculation. Unfortunately, it is not likely that Zimbabwe will be any better with Military incursion into governance. This is most unfortunate.
