[Al Jazeera] Pressure is mounting on Bob MuggsyMugabe ![]() to step down as Zim-bob-we's president, as efforts to force the veteran leader to resign after nearly four decades in office gain traction. Zim-bob-we has been in political turmoil since the early hours of Wednesday, when the country's armed forces seized power and placed Mugabe under house arrest. The embattled 93-year-old leader so far appears resistant to demands to step down. However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... he is increasingly running out of options as even some of his closest allies, including brass hats within his ruling ZANU-PF party, look determined to remove him from power. Issuing a "stark warning", Zim-bob-we's influential war veterans on Friday said Mugabe, the patron of their 35,000-strong association, should not be allowed to stay any longer in power. |
