Mnangagwa takes zimbabwes leadership
You're referring to the political development in Zimbabwe!
On November 24, 2017, Emmerson Mnangagwa, a long-time ally of former President Robert Mugabe, took over as the President of Zimbabwe after Mugabe's resignation. This marked a significant turning point in the country's history.
Here's a brief background:
Robert Mugabe, who had been in power since 1980, was facing increasing pressure from the military and the public due to his authoritarian rule, economic mismanagement, and allegations of corruption. On November 15, 2017, the military launched a coup, and Mugabe was placed under house arrest.
After several days of negotiations, Mugabe resigned as President on November 21, 2017, citing the "tyranny" and "oppression" he had faced. Emmerson Mnangagwa, who was then the Vice President, took over as the Acting President.
Mnangagwa, a former intelligence chief and a key figure in Mugabe's government, was sworn in as the new President of Zimbabwe on November 24, 2017. He promised to hold free and fair elections, to revive the country's economy, and to promote national reconciliation.
However, Mnangagwa's presidency has been marked by controversy, including allegations of human rights abuses, political repression, and economic challenges. The country has also faced challenges in implementing reforms and addressing the legacy of Mugabe's rule.
Despite these challenges, Mnangagwa has maintained a strong grip on power, and his party, ZANU-PF, has dominated the political landscape in Zimbabwe. The country has also seen significant changes in its economy, including the introduction of a new currency and efforts to attract foreign investment.
Overall, Emmerson Mnangagwa's presidency has been marked by both continuity and change in Zimbabwe's political landscape. While he has sought to distance himself from Mugabe's authoritarian rule, he has also faced criticism for his own government's human rights record and economic policies.
