    Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe resigns. A letter from Mr Mugabe said that the decision was voluntary and that he had made it to allow a smooth transition of power. Mr Mugabe has dominated #Zimbabwe's political scene for almost four decades.pic.twitter.com/CHdSTp7OYa

        What a great mistake. Zimbabwe must be banned from all AU activities till a credible election is conducted.

        But he voluntarily resigned under their constitution's article 96 I think. The AU provides for that. Read the resignation it's online

        This is not voluntary.I was shocked to hear a leader being interviewed on radio threatening that if,he fails to resign,they'll stop controlling the mob and allow them to descend on him.He is not perfect but you people should accord him with all the respect he deserve.

        There is nothing good to celebrate about this.Ghanaians have regretted overthrowing Kwame Nkrumah.No Head of State after him can be compared to Nkrumah.Placing the destiny of Zimbabwe in the hands of the military is dangerous.Their jubilation shall soon turn into misery and regre

        Democracy is giving people the right to make their decisions right or wrong. If the people want a 5 year old as their president, it might be a wrong decision but then it's the people's choice. It's better to regret your own choice.
