Mugabe resign regional leaders visit harare
You're referring to the historic event when Robert Mugabe, the long-serving President of Zimbabwe, resigned on November 21, 2017, after a military coup.
After Mugabe's resignation, regional leaders from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the African Union (AU) visited Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, to help facilitate a smooth transition of power.
Some of the notable regional leaders who visited Harare included:
- Jacob Zuma, the then-President of South Africa and Chairperson of the SADC Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation.
- Edgar Lungu, the President of Zambia and Chairperson of the SADC Troika.
- Cyril Ramaphosa, the then-Deputy President of South Africa and Chairperson of the AU.
- Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, the then-Chairperson of the AU Commission.
These leaders met with Emmerson Mnangagwa, who had taken over as President of Zimbabwe after Mugabe's resignation, and other stakeholders to discuss the country's political situation and the way forward.
The visit was seen as an important step in stabilizing the situation in Zimbabwe and ensuring a peaceful transition of power. It also marked a significant moment in the country's history, as it brought an end to Mugabe's 37-year rule and paved the way for a new era of governance in Zimbabwe.
