Why is the current crisis evokes memories of Operation Robert Mugabe?
Many, the current crisis reminds of the fall of the late Robert Mugabewho held the forcy on 37 years before they were overthrown in a coup in 2017. years.
Mugabe, who was forced at the age of 93, led the struggle of the country for independence. However, its next rule characterized the repression of the opposition members, electoral rhythnies, corruption and economic stagnation. He refused to give up the presidency for decades.
Mnangagwa was a longtime ally Mugabe and served as the Minister of Defense, and then the vice president in the final years of Mugabe’s rule. He had close connections to the army.
However, two men fell who would succeed in Mugabe: Mnangwaga supported the army on the one hand, while Mugabe wanted to hand over his wife Mugaba Mugaba.
On 6 November 2017, Mugabe rejected Mnangagwa, launched the beginning of his fall. Week later, armed forces seized controlAnd Mnangagwa took power.
Now, the President also seems caught in the same spiral. Although he used to promise to hand over the power of the Chiweng Vice President, which was the main player in Munarau, Mnangagwa has changed the melody since then.
Chiwenga, which Geza claims to speak, did not publicly declare his desire to run for president or spoken against Mnangagwa.
Mnangagwa is unlikely to be successful in prolonging his rule due to citizens who glued to political machinations and because of the deep inner parts in Zanu-PF, the Vava said Al Jazeera said.
“People don’t want 2030 agenda,” he said. “It will be a battle for the survival for Mnangagwa.”
