Military coup in Zimbabwe. President Mugabe arrested

93, the summer president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, who ruled this African state for almost 40 years, declared his readiness to resign as head of state. It happened after the actual military coup, as a result of which the head of the General Staff of Zimbabwean Constantino Chivenga temporarily (as he claims) took power into his own hands.

Together with Robert Mugabe, who had previously declared that he intended to live up to the centenary jubilee and run for president again, other representatives of the government were also taken into custody. In particular, Ignacius Chombo, head of the Zimbabwean Ministry of Finance, was arrested. Also spouse Mugabe was also behind bars.

The military began to speak after the president ordered the arrest of a second person in the state (vice-president) Emmerson Mnangagwu. Mugabe decided that Mnangagvu is growing in popularity, and that he can compete with him in power. The popularity of the vice president of Zimbabwe was really high. At the same time, he enjoyed the popularity of the military environment, which is why the troops came out against Mugabe.

Who took power in Harare soldiers say that after the removal of the incumbent president of the country should be elections. Chivenga promises that the troops will not allow any bloodshed in the country.

During independence and rule of Mugabe Zimbabwe from the once richest country in the continent has become one of the poorest.
So, with a population of 14 million people, the country's GDP is only 13,93 billion dollars. In less populated Belarus, this figure is an order of magnitude higher - more than 170 billion. In addition, in 2008, the inflation rate in Zimbabwe broke all records - it reached 231 million percent.

Before independence in 1980, Zimbabwe was one of the most economically developed countries on the African continent. Zimbabwe is currently one of the poorest countries in the world. In the 2000 years, the country experienced a severe economic crisis, which peaked in 2008, when government debt reached 131% of GDP, inflation was 231 000 000%, and GDP fell by 17,76%

The most important minerals of the country are platinoids and chromites, according to which Zimbabwe occupies the third place in the world. So, the Darwendale deposit is the second largest platinum reserves in Africa. Total resources, taking into account other metals, including gold, nickel and copper, reach tons. Also numerous are deposits of iron ores, tungsten, beryllium, lithium, tantalum, gold, rare metals, copper, nickel, cobalt, bauxite, coal and precious stones (diamonds, rubies, emeralds). The country ranks 2nd in the world in terms of chromium reserves.
Key positions in the economy (about 60% of all investments) are held by foreign private capital in the UK and the USA (over 350 companies).
I think, as always, all because of this. I won’t be surprised if in the speed after the election of a new president, Western companies will buy for kopeks any deposits of rare-earth minerals and the like.

Do not jerk. Mugab 40 years plowed like a slave in the galleys. He was about to lift Zimbabwe from its knees (he only had to give him another presidential mandate), but the Anglo-Saxons and the State Department would give him the Maidan.

You comrade studied history poorly. Just under the rule of white Europeans, Zimbabwe was one of the most developed African countries with a fairly high standard of living, was experiencing a construction boom, the capital of Harare was not much different from European cities with good roads, interchanges, skyscrapers (the same can be said for South Africa, for example) . While whites continued to influence the country's politics and economy until the mid-90s, it continued to develop more or less. After the reforms of the 99th, when whites began to literally be thrown out of the country, Zimbabwe in 10 years slipped into a hellish cesspool, in which it has successfully remained to this day, thanks to the efforts of the tyrant Mugabe.

[Odysseus]

Quote: Greenwood

the capital of Harare was not much different from European megacities with good roads, interchanges, skyscrapers

1) Harare has never been like the "European cities"
2) The standard of living in the "European cities" is not limited to "interchanges and roads"
3) In the “European megacities” in the 80s there were no “skyscrapers”, by and large they are not even there in 2017. The tallest building in Europe is in Russia.

Quote: Greenwood

Famine 92, the cannibalistic IMF restructuring program that triggered land reform.
No ? Did not hear ?
However, the reform of 99, further worsened the situation, this is true. The problem is not in the “whites,” but in sanctions by the former metropolis, which economically continued to control the country.

Quote: Greenwood

Just in recent years, the economy has been growing there, and Mugabe was not overthrown by the opposition at all, but by his own circle.

A Negro is only able to work and benefit while a white master kicks him.
And I advise you to get out of your head these Soviet nonsense about the friendship of peoples and oppressed blacks and evaluate sensibly what peoples are capable of and what attitude they deserve.

All these are the areas of Paris, wise guy.

La Defense (occupying Courbevoie, Puteaux and Nanterre districts at a distance of 2,5 km from central Paris) is the most important suburban area of ​​Paris, one of the largest business centers in the world. Built up with tall business buildings (almost skyscrapers) around the main street, Défense, as it were, extends the historic axis passing through the Champs Elysees to the west.

According to economists, Zimbabwe is one of the poorest countries in the world with an average income of 50 USD per month. There is no national currency. But the population’s profit is 1 million people per year.
Gold is mined in the country, and since 1996, diamonds have been mined. It is beneficial for someone to keep people on the verge of starvation exhaustion, but to pump out all the wealth from the bowels. It is unlikely that this is the Chinese. So, our western "partners". Zimbabwe gained independence from the English robbers only in the 1980 year. But it is known that the British do not just leave, leave a legacy of the plundered countries of poverty, disease, ethnic hatred. Such a picture looms. Perhaps the British want to go back. It is necessary to pay with the EU something for an exit from it. And perhaps the people themselves are tired of enduring the robbers. Time will tell. It is a pity that in Africa we cannot influence what is happening. And even unable to predict events.
