visionary Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-41992351 Quote Zimbabwe crisis: Army says it is 'targeting criminals', not Mugabe Zimbabwe's military has read out a statement after taking over the national broadcaster, ZBC, saying it has taken action to "target criminals". However, it said this was not "a military takeover of government" and President Robert Mugabe was safe. Heavy gunfire and artillery were heard in northern suburbs of the capital, Harare, early on Wednesday. Zimbabwe's envoy to South Africa, Isaac Moyo, earlier dismissed talk of a coup, saying the government was "intact". The statement read out by Maj Gen Sibusiso Moyo came hours after soldiers overran the headquarters of ZBC. He said: "We wish to assure the nation that his excellency the president... and his family are safe and sound and their security is guaranteed." The statement added: "We are only targeting criminals around him who are committing crimes... that are causing social and economic suffering in the country. As soon as we have accomplished our mission, we expect that the situation will return to normalcy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hopefully this doesn't lead to even more chaos, but it always does. Toppling the oppressive regime is always the easy part. Now you probably have about 500 people who want to be the next Robert Mugabe. But good riddance to the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 If he's this ballsy there must be enough people that are sympathetic to his position to where they can't outright kill him without a massive ****storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the resistance stays strong and they can yank him out of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
