Update: Initial media reports about Mugabe's ouster were confusing: While the country's ruling party had voted to expel him, several sources quoted by western media outlets said the vote was only the trigger to start the process of removing Mugabe, and that he is still technically president of Zimbabwe.
Fortunately, the ruling Zanu-PF party has issued a quick clarification: Mugabe - who has obstinantly refused to officially abdicate in accordance with the military's demands - has until noon tomorrow to resign. If he doesn't, he will be impeached.

Zimbabwe's ruling party confirmed the news in a tweet...
Former president Robert Mugabe has been given until 12 tomorrow to resign from his government deployment. He must now step down as president of Zimbabwe or we will be forced to remove him.

A day after thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Harare to celebrate the imminent removal of Robert Mugabe, the country’s 93-year-old dictator who’d been effectively deposed during a surprise coup earlier this week, the country’s ruling party has officially voted to remove him from office and install his former deputy, Emmerson Mnangagwa, as interim leader.
As we’ve pointed out, Mugabe triggered his own downfall when he fired Mnangagwa last week to try and clear a path for his much-younger wife, Grace, to succeed him as leader of Zimbabwe. Mugabe tried to appoint his 52-year-old wife to Mnangagwa's former position, which would've positioned her to be his successor. However, Mnangagwa’s sudden ouster outraged the leaders of Zimbabwe’s military, who decided to intervene and place Mugabe under house arrest.
Mugabe had resisted the military’s request to step down, so on Friday, the country’s 10 provincial committees resolved to oust Mugabe. That decision was ratified Sunday at a meeting of Zimbabwe’s central executives, according to the head of the country's influential liberation war veterans.
Meanwhile, ABC reported that Mugabe's wife Grace - who reportedly fled the country after the coup - has been officially expelled by ZANU-PF, the ruling party. Veterans leader Chris Mutsvangwa said now that Mugabe’s ouster is official, processes to remove the 93-year-old as President could now begin.

After the vote, members of the central committee started singing “Chengetedza” by Jah Prayzah, a popular Zimbabwean musician. According to local media, the song has become an anthem for the de facto anthem of the movement to oust Mugabe.

According to one BBC reporter, journalists were asked to leave the room after the vote as the party set about formalizing the decision.
Journalists asked to leave again. Seems like the decisions have yet to be formalised, but they've been taken... Mugabe's party has thrown him out.

In his opening remarks at a meeting of ZANU-PF's Central Committee, Obert Mpofu, the official chairing the gathering, said the party had come together with "a heavy heart,” adding that Mugabe’s wife, Grace, and others in his orbit had taken advantage of his age and feebleness to loot the country’s national resources. Mpofu then hailed the beginning of "a new era, not only for our party but for our nation Zimbabwe,” according to ABC.
Mpofu said Mugabe was responsible for "many memorable achievements.”
Mugabe, who remains under house arrest, was reportedly supposed to meet Sunday with the military for a second round of talks to negotiate his departure. It’s unclear if this meeting has taken place.
While Zimbabwe lawmakers have voted to begin the process of Mugabe’s ouster, he technically remains the president of Zimbabwe. However, the vote greatly increases the pressure on him to abdicate, the BBC reported.
Veterans leader Mutsvangwa expressed his excitement over Mugabe’s ouster in an interview with local media.
“The president is gone! Long live the new president!”

Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe since the country won its independence from the UK in 1980. Under his watch, the economy has imploded, leaving 95 percent of the workforce unemployed, according to Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions estimates, and forcing as many as 3 million people into exile.
While Zimbabwe's ruling party led the effort to oust Mugabe, opposition lawmakers had threatened to begin impeachment proceedings if he was not swiftly removed, according to Fox News.
"If Mugabe is not gone by Tuesday, then as sure as the sun rises from the east, impeachment process will kick in," said Innocent Gonese, a member of the opposition MDC-T party.
Hope for a better future crested on Sunday. But whether life will measurably improve for the people of Zimbabwe remains to be seen…

ROBERT MUGABE’S DAYS ARE NUMBERED; FOR HE WILL BE TAKEN AWAY VERY SOON:
This morning of 2nd July 2017, in a Prophetic Supernatural Dream (Vision) of The LORD God Almighty, The LORD Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit, The LORD showed me Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe.
So I saw Robert Mugabe showing All and Sundry, how strong he still is, I saw him jumping a bit and trying to show all that he is very strong. The LORD then made me know, in the vision of The LORD, that Robert Mugabe is now physically very weak, and that his days are now Numbered, and that he will be taken away very soon.
The LORD then showed me how investors have avoided Zimbabwe due to economic uncertainties, brought about by an unpredictable Currency.
The Vision of The LORD then ended.
SHALOM!!!
NOTE: My Prayer is that by the time he is taken away, he shall have made Peace with The Messiah Jesus Christ. For The LORD desires that None to perish, but that all to come to him in Repentance; for their Redemption.
SHALOM!!!
2nd Kings 20:1 ‘“In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith The LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.”’
2nd Peter 3:9 ‘“The LORD is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to Repentance.”’
He was 93 years old! Hardly prophetic to state that he was going to die soon.
You also predicting the sun will rise tomorrow? You must have a direct link to the Almightly...

Ok, we are making biblical Zimbabwe predictions? I predict Black Jesus will take over the country.
I ordered 10 trillion Zimbabwe dollars from ebay last week, they arrived yesterday...winning!!
While you're at it, bring back Cecil Rhodes, the father of modern globalism.
So will they attempt to recruit the white farmers that are being slautered in the rest of Africa, so that they can rebuild their agricultural independence?
Where is the media on that genocide issue?
Shhh..White Lives don't matter to the US fake media.
It's NOT genocide when blacks kill whites. It's racial Justice.
Blacks CANNOT be racist.
----CNN Journalist handbook page 62
They haven't been told they are completely broke and can't feed themselves. I just hope Mugabe hasn't sold the country to the Chinese and stashed the money way out of the country.
No, he bought Bitcoin.
The huge demand came from Zimbabwe. I heard it right here it at ZH. s/
Maybe they shoulda stayed home.
Any white who farms or even steps foot in Africa is a traitor to his race and mankind.
Here’s the thing about Africa, it’s never mentioned by anyone when planning the Reset. It’s like no one gives a fuck about it.
So here’s my prediction: Big Oil uses its mercenary forces to seize the profitable chunks of Africa ... the rest just goes batshit crazy.
Let’s give it a nice name: corporate restructuring :)
It’s going to be very entertaining. Corporations will have their own assault armies O_O very entertaining

It's a startling facet of the western imagination that ...
those areas of the world where it's medias are less adept(or interested in)at covering do not actually play any role in the developing interests of 'world players'
... of whom to name a few examples, might be your China, your Russia, your India, for example.
The first of which has gone far along in a systemic program of establishing direct exploitation of resources on the African continent by it's SOE's - on a scale so massive that it is in reality like a second "opening of the Dark Continent" which the western imperial powers conducted in the C19th.
And the third of which - India - having it's own huge diaspora of ethnic Indians placed all over eastern and Southern Africa, represents a commerical class which has dominated trade in many countries for a century. Both look to Africa as a backbone of their plans to expand their influence globally - obviously China with more hope of success.
But where the western imagination breaks down even more conclusively in understanding current events and the directions they are ACTUALLY taking(as opposed to the innumerable false trails of media psyops)
is in perceiving the DIRECTORS of the procession of 'events.' To point out that our examples - China & India - are state actors used as tool of the 'supra-capitalist Talmudic cartels, is to invoke astonishment, anger or disbelief... usually all three in various degrees.
Yet the flow of influence... and thus, events outside the gaze of a sightless and complicit western media causes the careful observer to recognize the concurrent movement of wealth and power out of the west... and into - NOT the hands of nations in the east, so much as into the very same hands which held it in the west, who are now in the process of transferring shop eastwards.
Thus, Africa, becoming a fiefdom of Chinese state capitalism, under the guidance of its' assigned talmudic directors - such as Rober Kuhn, Hank Paulsen, Richard Sandor ... and so on and on...
is now well on the way to become - similar in political and economic texture to the way that Belgium and it's "Congo" were the epitomy of a pitiless resrouce extraction machines that rode the native populace roughly using chosen local elites as it's 'shop supervisors'...
a brutal and feudal society, the creators and beneficiaries of which will stay completely out of the limelight... ruling from behind scenes in the timeless manner of the $power - their ogre-like henchmen, Mugable, Mao, Modi and more...
the face of an empire of evil which markets itself to the west as the solution to all of humanities woes!
Nothing to see here.... unless you are looking.
Time to go hang....
Mugabe and Co.
It is purely a struggle for who will be in control of the dictatorship. Mugabe's family or the Crocodile's.
Whoever wins this will be bloody brutal to the ordinary Zimbabwean who backed the losing side.
Eventually it can be figured out what faction of the cabal was backing whom and why.
And this is the brutal history of most of Africa: Each successive regime spends its time taking revenge on the previous regime instead of actually improving things.
Africa has never learned that unless you respect personal property rights, your continent will remain a 3rd world cesspool of corruption and poverty.
Too bad western countries are shifting that direction...
Ethnic Europeans across the world are dancing to the tune of the (((cabal))) factions. Have been for centuries.
Being a white under the rule of BofE or the Fed for example, makes us no wiser and no bloody better. End the Fed and we can see ourselves as something better than Zimbabwe.
But the gold and diamond mines somehow always manage to remain in the same ((hands)),
Goldman Sachs - http://www.businessinsider.com/how-goldman-sachs-screwed-ghana-2010-4
And to remember that the US, UK, UN, Soviet Union, & China all worked together to bring about the end of the prosperous Rhodesia, and install Mugabe or Nokomo, which now after 30 years of liberal racist scorched earth policies, the people celebrate the end of the dictatorship. Thank you USSA!
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
so can i form a white lives matter charter and set up shop over there and get multiple forms of assistance from the government for being oppressed? is it okay to shoot at policemen? do the have a whity college? a white tv channel? do whiteys play soccer? just curious as to whether or not i should move there for some of manKINDS diversity benifits.
Nope!

Sounds like Miami.
So, one tin pot banana republic leader being replaced with another...? Nothing changes in Africa. For whatever reason, they can't seem to rule in a democracy....
Because for several minutes, it is the happiest place on Earth.
"for whatever reason",
let me take a stab at that one;
power is all corrupting, backed by extreme violence without due proccess.
rule of the jungle.
less civilized.

I got a question. Is the Zimbabwe military part its own military industrial complex or all they all inter connected?
So glad the Alinsky press was there to document this "historic moment"...that changes absolutely nothing but the names.
(Sigh) ;-)
Aaaaah ... did you not know this is a spelling competition. First one to spell the new leaders name in full wins a prize!
Matters not at a 95% unemployment you have no way to rebuild the economy and service how much debt?
https://tradingeconomics.com/zimbabwe/government-debt-to-gdp
Actually amazed 2016 debt / gdp ratio is 84.2% or so we are told. Who would have thought having 95% unemployment could work wonders for the debt / GDP ratio or has somebody been manipulating the figures. That ratio on the same page is better than the US / UK.
Well, hopefully he gets a handsome golden parachute. After so many years of selfless service for his fellow man in Zimbabwe, it is the least they can do for him.
