Breaking mugabe resigns

You're referring to the resignation of Robert Mugabe, the former President of Zimbabwe, in 2017.

On November 21, 2017, Robert Mugabe, who had been in power for 37 years, resigned as President of Zimbabwe, bringing an end to his authoritarian rule. The resignation came after a military coup and widespread protests against his government.

The events leading up to Mugabe's resignation were as follows:

• November 14, 2017: The Zimbabwean military, led by General Constantino Chiwenga, launched a coup against Mugabe's government, seizing key infrastructure and arresting high-ranking officials.
• November 15, 2017: Mugabe was placed under house arrest, and his wife, Grace Mugabe, was also arrested.
• November 16, 2017: The Zimbabwean parliament began impeachment proceedings against Mugabe, citing his alleged abuse of power and failure to address the country's economic crisis.
• November 21, 2017: Mugabe delivered a televised address to the nation, in which he announced his resignation as President of Zimbabwe, effective immediately. He cited the "campaign of vilification and abuse" against him and his family as the reason for his decision.

Mugabe's resignation marked the end of an era in Zimbabwean politics, and paved the way for a new government led by Emmerson Mnangagwa, a former vice president who had been fired by Mugabe just before the coup.
