You're referring to the historic event where Robert Mugabe, the President of Zimbabwe, resigned on November 21, 2017, after 37 years in power.
Here's a brief summary of the events leading up to his resignation:
- November 6, 2017: The Zimbabwean military, led by General Constantino Chiwenga, launched a coup against Mugabe, seizing key government buildings and arresting high-ranking officials.
- November 14, 2017: Mugabe was placed under house arrest, and the military announced that it had taken control of the country.
- November 19, 2017: The Zimbabwean parliament began impeachment proceedings against Mugabe, citing his alleged failure to address the country's economic crisis and his firing of Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
- November 21, 2017: Mugabe resigned as President of Zimbabwe, effective immediately. He was replaced by Emmerson Mnangagwa, who became the country's new President.
Mugabe's resignation marked the end of an era in Zimbabwean politics and brought an end to his authoritarian rule. His legacy is complex, with both positive and negative aspects. While he played a key role in Zimbabwe's independence from British colonial rule, his later years in power were marked by human rights abuses, economic mismanagement, and corruption.
