    Default Robert Mugabe tossed out

    Zimbabwe's ruling party fired Robert Mugabe as its leader on Sunday and gave the 93-year-old less than 24 hours to quit as head of state or face impeachment, an attempt to force a peaceful end to his 37 years in power after a de-facto coup.

    I'm surprise it has taken so long, thought he would have received a high velocity piece of lead years ago.

    He refuses to stand down, so that piece of lead may be close.



    Of course if the country had any oil he'd have been got rid of years ago, perhaps even before he went mad.
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    He may well be at risk, Zimbabwe has significant reserves of the new age oil: Lithium. Watch out for intervention by one of the major powers.

    I suspect that we are in for another round of civil war, this time in Zim.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    There's a lot of similarities between Mugabee and Turnbull, they've both brought their country to it's knees, both have Egos too big to contain and both refuse to relinquish Power!

    Except you can get Lithium from anywhere - we ship out truckloads from WA and soon NT.

    From what I've read it's more about turfing the roost rather than just the stool pigeon

    You may find that there are a few people who just want to walk up behind him and shoot him in the back of the head.
    Except they know like Stalin that this creates a power vacuum where the first response is to dispose of rivals.
    I would suggest his generals are all scared shitless of each other.

    I was picturing in my head him make his speech on TV and when he was finished, one of the generals get up and punch him and then kick him on the ground while a few more join in.

    It's more likely that their congress who representatives are not all as afraid of him as any one of them is.
