F. Party and the military despite their ultimatum to him to voluntarily leave office or face impeachment. During his speech on sunday mugabe didnt even address the subject his grip on power has weakened since the army intervened on wednesday in iraq over who should succeed him but the crisis started two weeks ago when mugabe angered Army Commanders after he sacked his deputy with many seeing it as an attempt to get his wife grace to take his place so what happens next well proceedings to remove him from power could begin as soon as tuesday when the Zimbabwean Parliament meets his how an impeachment process works in zimbabwe the constitution says the senate and National Assembly must get a simple majority vote to stop the proceedings against said a state that could be for a number of offenses such as serious misconduct failure to obey uphold or defend the constitution willful violation of the constitution and an inability to perform the functions of the office due to physical or mental incapacity and if the vote passes then a joint committee is set up to investigate but even if it recommends removing the president both houses have to back the move with two thirds majority. Lets bring in now bright matonga to the news grid hes a former zimbabwe government spokesman a deputy information minister hes also a member of the ruling zanu p. F. Party joins us live from harare thank you so much for speaking to us. I want to get to the process of what happens next politically but first of all weve heard reports in the last hour that zimbabwes state broadcaster has been put on standby for an expected broadcast by the military can you tell us whats going on behind the scenes right now between the zimbabwe an army and the politicians are they on the same page as to what happens next. Exactly is to what. Been discussed. There was a meeting with the president last night there was a live broadcast. To see if something is the way forward so zimbabwe at the moment is it was. A very hectic week very little people. Here but its been visiting teams of people. Do you think the military knew that president mugabe wasnt going to resign on sunday evening. But i think the president is to their commander in chief naturally the old consult him. Trying to manage the process because its a very difficult process monitoring. You know. In control of. The policing side of things and. Its a very difficult process while what you say is that when you said that whole process when you say its a difficult process indeed this seems to be a lot of tiptoeing around transit mugabe why is it important for the army to thread carefully here even for zanu p. F. To thread carefully why why do you think its a difficult process. First and foremost you know president. Has done and not for the country we mustnt forget that terms of empowerment of zimbabwe terms of education in terms of is done a lot but we were just saying look i think you. Should have group someone to take over this is not a dynasty you really need to do something or about that process so i gave to the president. Because there is a lot of anger on the ground people are frustrated people dont have jobs go to about ninety percent Unemployment Rate whether that is true or false but things are bad for the ordinary person even if. There is no inward investment. In our public. Forty percent of g. D. P. So we dont have you know economic growth. Weve got industries weve got shows but theres nothing going on so its very difficult for for the country. See. This matter will be bloodshed in the streets we dont want to see that right he is still the president you say and i have a question here a comment from a one of our viewers because so mr mugabe is still the president hes no longer leader of zanu p. F. And the sonoma ganga has been appointed as the new leader of zanu p. F. But we havent heard from him since this appointment was made and jonathan here a viewer from zimbabwe on facebook has asked you know if you think mr magara will be an improvement and he things that zimbabweans by appointing magog as head of zanu p. F. And possibly president in the future if mugabe were to step down that zimbabweans would be leaping from the frying pan into the fire what do you respond to that. I also been on the ground thats who im talking to you. The moment. Who is going to be the next president i think just want you to be anything. If something new Something Different we have headed. For a long time. In one thousand. Nine hundred eighty. Nine hundred eighty seven the president up to the. Nine times it has never happened its a world record but it was. Some cases but now i think its hard to form a president you know to you know to you know to to return in a graceful manner. In zambia over the region even in malaysia. Break. Time to two ears to win over to someone else. But i think for the good of everybody thank you so much we need to protect that because hes done a lot for. This in that but he is the opposition i think also challenges the right at the moment. In opposition. In this process of assisting zimbabweans in coming with a new leader united black while. Other Political Parties. Listen guys lets just do this together a system will even then thank you so much just bright matonga thank you so much for speaking to us we heard your message there i thank you for taking the stand to speak to us bright matonga is a former when Government Spokesperson and that information minister he was live there from harare i want to now bring in our correspondent in zimbabwe harmattan who joins us on. On the line harrow as weve said we are in unchartered territory here Uncertain Times for zimbabwe as we wait to hear what happens next as far as president mugabe is concerned what is the mood like today on the streets of harare public expectation was high on sunday that mugabe would resign but he didnt what are people saying ok we seem to have lost our connection with. Our correspondent in harare well hopefully bring him back online in just a few minutes so she can tell us about the mood in zimbabwe today but a huge conversation online about whats happening in zimbabwe not just in the country but throughout the african continent its huge again folly but like you said not just in zimbabwe this is happening on the african continent as a whole mainly in kenya south africa botswana and nigeria and its also spread to the u. K. Canada as well as australia with over three hundred thousand tweets about mugabe in the past twenty four hours and once again it just simply sends us messages that people the people response here in regards to mugabes speech is simply instead through social media and people have been mobilizing protests in zimbabwes capital harare this person has been shed many times today with people saying that they wont tire until the president leaves his post some even dubbed this event the big buy boy with the hash tag mugabe moscow and these are some of the scenes we saw at the university of zimbabwe today hundreds of students threatened to go on strike and refuse to rise exams until president mugabe steps down theyre also calling for his wife grace the gobby to have her degree revote many are angry claiming that mrs mugabe obtained her degree within two months. And later joined other activists who called for an event known as the pick peoples picnic and this took place in africa unity square opposite parliament the organizers say that this was a demonstration but also a time to pray for the future of zimbabwe. I also heard from lynn that muscle riera shes a zimbabwean human rights activist whos just been acquitted for speaking out against the president she had some strong words to say about the peoples rights to express themselves. With. Some. Expression that. This is. Now this quote my attention is quite interesting it was reported by the Technology Website tech zim at the rulings on the p. F. Party removed images of president mugabe from his official website it was apparently done after they pass a unanimous vote to remove your gobby from his position as party leader and secretary and as you can see his picture is replaced with an image of the countrys ancient ruins of great zimbabwe. So we continue to monitor all of those developments coming out of zimbabwe to send in your thoughts pictures and videos we love to receive all of them use the hash tag news grid or message me directly on the trail of ahmed raila thank you very much meanwhile leaders of the Southern African Development Community sadek are due to meet in angola on tuesday to discuss the zimbabwe political crisis here is aljazeera is turning a page with more on the regional reaction. Zimbabwes flag flies high over a part of johannesburg as. On monday zimbabwes. South africas president jacob zuma the regional body and the United Nations to encourage president mugabe to step down but most of the zimbabweans we spoke to here dont think thats a good idea. To stay away from criticism was knees by a snake is pretty. Good but the other kind is most of the free why because the terms in with. If you get. A big problem in there were supposed to be involved with the way this kind of but they did nothing but now were trying to do that to fix what is going on on our own so if they get involved now they are destroying that thing with all of this is a look house particularly under president. South africas approach known as quiet diplomacy but thats also led to criticism about south africa and said it has been ineffective and may have in fact helped its stand Robert Mugabes presidency by approving elections but the bigger challenge of course of of the growing democratic deficit in the region i think is a broader challenge for sadeq weve seen some progress in relation to electoral democracy in the frameworks and expand the guidelines on for elections and so forth but this is not translating into a range of other areas in terms of deepening democracy. Hold an emergency meeting in angola where its likely to reaffirm its position calling for a negotiated settlement and for zimbabwes constitution to be respected but exactly what it ends up responding to depends on quickly unfolding events in zimbabwe that are largely beyond statics control. Tanya page reporting there from john is for again dont forget we have a special page on aljazeera dot com with all the very latest on whats happening in zimbabwe youll find a timeline thats updated reaction and analysis on the crisis its all day on aljazeera dot com. Now to kenya and the Supreme Courts hair has cleared the way for president hurrell kenyatta to be sworn in for a second and final term in Office Next Week his supporters are jubilant the opposition though is furious fighting and some deaths have been reported in the country Opposition Leaders say the court ruling which upholds kenyattas election victory in last months rerun is illegitimate has a report from nairobi it took just a few minutes for Supreme Court judges to end months of Political Uncertainty in the president ial election of the. As is the election of the Third Respondent the. Supporters were in a jubilant mood outside the court before president elect look at the artists plan to swearing in the next week as soon as we. Havent read the supporting the. Rights and outside the. Victory and that is a legitimate. Ruling Jubilee Party and the Electoral Commission say last months rerun was free and fair despite an Opposition Boycott and a voter turnout of less than forty percent of the opposition the National Super Alliance Says it wont recognise can yachters president it believes the Supreme Court didnt act independently when upholding kenyatta election when tension increased in Opposition Strongholds as demonstrators about to fight for what they say is political justice our democracy was jeopardize our democracy was put on a ledge and i want to show them that if the tory m. P. Victorian government. Can is plagued by political and economic divisions worsened after two controversial president ial elections in just three months ruling party says it will go up to form an inclusive government the opposition not only the disability factor we want our colleagues in the op was. That kenya is bigger than you that all of us must richmonds all of us must reach ethnic coexistence position says the government has been using armed militia and bullets to disperse supporters. As the opposition ponders its next move its uncertain if any further protests will have the impact it hopes for as many other kenyans prepare to move on from aljazeera nairobi. Joining us now on the news great for more on the situation in kenya is iran go houghton whos an executive director of the Advocacy Organization chapter one which focuses on governance and accountability is live from the kenyan capital nairobi thank you very much for being with us so who are kenyatta now has a constitutional mandate but does he have a popular mandate is. Is this a legitimate government thats going to be recognized and accepted by the kenyan people. The term legitimacy i think is controversial what is clear is that he will have to win over. Several tens of probably six to seven Million People that were left during the october twenty sixth election with no option after their candidate pulled out so i think the ball now shifts into the president elects. Corner to think through what is it that he can offer so that he can actually represent not just his own supporters but provide leadership and branch to his opposition figure but really to address the issues that have been demain through the last one hundred twenty days and these are essentially issues around electoral Electoral Reform issues around Security Sector reform weve seen too many of our children and too many citizens lose their lives at the hands of or in the arms of of police and we also need to see a number of the into the independent bodies the Electoral Commission and for that matter the supremum court restored in terms of their independence and i think it important step at this point would be a couple of statements from president elect that he will deal with issues around inequalities build an inclusive economy and protect the position of the independent commission so what we have we havent heard that message yet that the president elect right now meanwhile and the Nasa Coalition have threatened a campaign of civil disobedience and economic boycott even before this ruling today because it seems that it have no other Legal Recourse is that going to achieve anything are they going to go ahead with that threat you think. The country is deeply polarized its beginning to have major impact not just on the economy but even on the social fabric many people have been left wondering how is it that their neighbors became only a last name or a different language from them so not since i think we have to think very carefully about the next few weeks to make sure that the country does not become even more polarized right in our. Last week one of the members of parliament produced the succession bill which seeks to get to partition kenya into two separate republics and i think all the signs are there that if were not able to move from battle grounds to a Common Ground were not going to see a very smooth the next two three months thank you so much for speaking to us and sharing your views with as iran the heart and executive director of chapter one joining us on the news great from Nairobi Kenya thank you and this mohammed i dont recently sat down with got a kenyan Opposition Leader for a talk to aljazeera program and this was just a few days after the rerun election which boycotted and in this interview he talks about why he withdrew from the race and what he intends to do if youve missed it on t.
