| 2017-11-15 |
| Zimbabwe's military said it had seized power in a targeted assault on "criminals" around President Robert Mugabe who were causing social and economic suffering, but gave assurances the 93-year-old leader and his family were "safe and sound." Zimbabwean soldiers and armored vehicles blocked roads to the main government offices, parliament and the courts in central Harare, a Reuters witness said on Wednesday. While nearby, Zimbabweans queued for cash outside banks as public taxis ferried commuters to work. "We are only targeting criminals around him (Mugabe) who are committing crimes that are causing social and economic suffering in the country in order to bring them to justice," Zimbabwe Major General SB Moyo, Chief of Staff Logistics, said on national television on Wednesday. "As soon as we have accomplished our mission, we expect that the situation will return to normalcy." When was the last time we've military coup in Africa? |

| #3 Pretty amusing that the guy who took over from Mugabe is the one guy who's a bigger scumbag than Mugabe. Just when you thought Rhodesia had hit bottom, a massive sinkhole opens up beneath the nation. |
