Mugabe resigns
At long, long last Robert Mugabe has resigned as President of Zimbabwe.
I am no fan of Ian Smith, but his prediction when asked by Rod Liddle about Mugabe
"He'll be there for thirty years, murder all his opponents, and wreck the country"
was a pretty good call.
Since it is likely that Mugabe's successor will be one of his former lieutenants, I am not holding my breath waiting for a new age in Zimbabwe. Let us hope that the call for free elections from Morgan Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic Change is listened to.
