Mugabe meet army chiefs

A significant event in Zimbabwe's history!

On November 13, 2017, Robert Mugabe, the then President of Zimbabwe, met with the country's army chiefs at the State House in Harare, the capital city. This meeting was a crucial moment in the events that ultimately led to Mugabe's resignation as President.

The meeting was called after the Zimbabwean military had taken control of the country, seizing key infrastructure and detaining several high-ranking government officials, including Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who was seen as a potential successor to Mugabe. The military's actions were widely seen as a coup, although the government and the military denied it.

During the meeting, Mugabe was reportedly told by the army chiefs that he had lost the support of the military and the people, and that it was time for him to step down. The army chiefs also demanded that Mugabe resign as President and hand over power to a transitional government.

Mugabe, who had been in power since 1980, was initially defiant and refused to resign. However, under pressure from the military and the international community, he eventually agreed to step down and hand over power to a transitional government led by Mnangagwa.

On November 21, 2017, Mugabe resigned as President of Zimbabwe, bringing an end to his 37-year rule. Mnangagwa was sworn in as the new President of Zimbabwe, and the country began a new chapter in its history.
