The people are now if you want to be one listener. And politicians like for you to hold. To trouble me a couple through these demonstrations and which. Was to play the game fairly if it is not well to play the game fairly we will take him on you also we are sick and tired of the sun look here soon. I had for decades been a faithful mugabe lieutenant described as a president s and close to the army and nick. The crocodile if you would describe him as a democrat. Many a right to wonder with this era would be much different from the past on this night and for now though not mean ok. Or that whatever it. Was.

Ten years later when the people let their views be known opiate encouraged by zimbabwes military Robert Mugabe ignored them and then surprise them when he didnt announce his resignation and as widely predicted t. V. Address i thank you. And good night after thirty seven years in control mcgarvie found it hard to let go hes made a career by deftly apa new for potential rivals one of the first to be sidelined was joshua como a fellow liberation fighter and comer was leader of the zombie party a gobby merge them with his zanu p. F. Party their alliance was uneasy i dont come i was relegated to the figurehead role of Vice President. At the turn of the century the gobby started seizing farms owned by whites to a peace supporters angry at the slow pace of land reform the economy shrank by a third unemployment soared about eighty percent. Out of this economic turmoil another rival emerged we must have given it is sounding defeat Morgan Chander i formed the movement for Democratic Change it became popular enough to risk defeating mugabe in a president ial election runoff in two thousand and eight. I was beaten up and frequently arrested and intimidated dozens of his supporters were killed allegedly by zanu p. F. Thugs and the m. D. C. Leader withdrew from the election worried about the stability of its neighbors south africa forced both men into a coalition chiang or i became Prime Minister but mcgarvey retain control of the police army and secret service and with that the real power of god he won the election four years ago by a landslide supporters said Voter Registration lists were manipulated critics said mccarthy was just as ruthless at dealing with rivals in his own party war veteran and Vice President joyce maturity was fired in two thousand and fourteen accused of corruption and plotting to assassinate the gobby this time a gabbys wife grace was seen as instrumental in engineering mature is down for it was the clearest signal yet the mcgarvie was now not only protecting his own position but also laying the path for his wife to succeed him the sacking of emerson made that obvious the Vice President nicknamed the crocodile had been in pole position to succeed mugabe firing him clear the way for his wife.

A lot of people from china. Working there. For beijing is political stability in zimbabwe and with the appointment of the new president today. Chinas interests seem to be safe and china doesnt seem to be losing a lot of sleep about. A lot of questions about chinas role in this whole transition just two weeks. From. This. Had long discussions with the military here and many people are wondering what. This question the ministry of Foreign Affairs and.

From the lebanese capital. Several have a day back in beirut for the first time really since his father resignation on november for sudden resignation which was delivered in a televised address from the saudi capital riyadh and it raised a lot of questions a resignation that it might take a crisis two weeks really of a lot of uncertainty not just surrounding his resignation but about his circumstances while and saudi arabia many in lebanon believe that in one way or another really was being held off. Now back in beirut definitely. Like i mentioned those mysterious circumstances there was a diplomatic turmoil over his fate but the. Crisis is still there. Really is not immune to political crises or political instability and. People were worried because you found it really at the center of. The wire very between saudi arabia and iran. Is very nation was in saudi arabia move against hezbollah hezbollah being an ally of iran the law being a member of. Government they wanted to curb. Backfired because the lebanese came together from across the political divide. The fact that the Prime Minister. Was practically a hostage that is the feeling here of course saudi arabia denied this. The country came together but how long will this unity last because the differences are still there and the question remains. Just on his resignation or is he going to withdraw it we understand is that the president is going to try to dissuade him from resigning. To try to find a way. Out of a compromise. He will withdraw his resignation.
