World Zimbabwe Crisis: What We Know So Far

[ProfRem]

Zimbabwe's military appeared to be in control of the country Wednesday as generals denied staging a coup but used state television to vow to target "criminals" close to President Robert Mugabe.

Mugabe's decades-long grip on power was dramatically weakened as military vehicles blocked roads outside the parliament in Harare and senior soldiers delivered a late-night television address to the nation.

"We wish to assure the nation that his excellency the president... and his family are safe and sound and their security is guaranteed," Major General Sibusiso Moyo said, slowly reading out a statement.

Here are the latest issues surrounding Zimababwe crisis:

- Military takes control, denies coup -

- Mugabe is “safe and sound” – army on state TV -



- Embassies tell citizens to stay indoors

- Armoured vehicles patrol Harare

- Queues are forming outside banks in the Zimbabwean capital, Harare

- Reports say Sacked vice president, 'Mnangagwa behind military action'

- Mugabe still in charge but ruling party divided over who should succeed Mugabe - Zanu-PF

-President Robert Mugabe is safe but reportedly being held

- Jacob Zuma of South Africa has expressed concerns over the uncertain political situation in the Republic of Zimbabwe.

UPDATED:

- Coup planned weeks ago, accelerated when Mugabe fired deputy

- Military will work with ruling party, opposition group

- President Robert Mugabe’s refusal to publicly resign is stalling plans by Zimbabwe’s military to swiftly install a transitional government - sources

Even Ogbeni Mugabe has been using Military prior to this moment. The only option is to use his tool to attack him and ouster him.

Unfortunately, this is not regime change. The army will support Mugabe's long-standing deputy. A man that has been part and parcel everything that has gone on. This might be frying pan into the fire. IBB to Abacha

You are right, the main sàga is within the ZanuPF family and not about Zimbabwe.

Not yet Uhuru for Zimbabweans...
