    The deadline for President Mugabe to resign has passed. Now the Zanu-PF party says it will start impeachment proceedings, so how would do you ask the President of a country to resign?

        His speech did not allude to quitting however BBC reporters are wrong to call his speech “rambling”. He was ambiguous yet spoke eloquently using words that even the larger British public will need dictionaries to understand. #mugabe

        When you find something that works with Mugabe, let me know. We'd like to try it on Trump.

        The party n d parliament were aware of impeachable offences for larger parts of d 37years he's been in power but did nothing. Now they & d military r dragging citizens to join n help win personal power tussle. He is an elected president n can't just resign just to make you happy.

        I think the party and the military have handled the situation civilly. It is time to let the president smell the reality. Impeach and sent him home so he can live his life as a senior statesman.

        Simple! Go to your nearest police station, open multiple cases of human rights violations, violations to the constitution, Violations to his oath of office etc.

        Zimbabweans are very funny people, you know. So, they are just waking up from slumber. Mugabe ought to have been voted out a very long time ago...

        Mugabe is proving a little difficult for them to push over. He’s much smarter them all and always a step ahead.

        In Western Uganda where I come from, the name/word Mugabe means ”a king”. Maybe he was told by his counterpart @KagutaMuseveni that kings do not relinquish their ”thrones” but rather die in power!
