    <peacedove>Zimbabwe crisis: Army takes over, says Mugabe is safe !

    The military has taken control in Zimbabwe but said President Robert Mugabe, in power since 1980, was safe.

    After seizing state TV, an army spokesman announced it was targeting people close to Mr Mugabe.

    South Africa's President Jacob Zuma later said he had spoken to Mr Mugabe who had indicated that he "was confined to his home but said that he was fine".

    The move may be a bid to replace Mr Mugabe with his sacked deputy, Emmerson Mnangagwa, BBC correspondents say.

    The dismissal of Mr Mnangagwa last week had left Mr Mugabe's wife Grace as the president's likely successor.


    Heavy gun and artillery fire could be heard in northern parts of the capital Harare early on Wednesday.

    A statement read out by a general on air denied it was a coup. There was no immediate word from the president himself.

    Was once known as the Bread Basket of Africa. Huge natural/mineral resources too - which the Chinese are helping the elite skim off. Look, I'm not defending their colonial past, nor saying they should go back to it, but wouldn't it be wonderful to have a functioning democracy in Africa, and one that isn't riddled with corruption like SA?

    Clever people - one of the surgeons on my op back in May was Zimbabwean. So much potential in that country.

    Understandable but when it's an asset grab by gangsters dressed up as anti colonialism it was only ever going to go one direction.

    I stated on here a few years back that S.A. would go the same way once Mandela went and I remember being told no. (Can't remember who tbf)

    Don't enjoy being right.

    Problem being these countries and many other in Africa needed western help to replace the previous exploitation...unfortunately the Cold War put paid to any chance of that. The distrust made it impossible for European Countries to ever be accepted again. Which leaves the native gangsters and Chinese....

    Colonialism and British overseas policy of the past will continue to come back and bite GB/UK's arse for ever more in economic and violent actions.

    It's called retro-payback, sad that today's citizens are are taking **** for the greed of the privileged few in bygone years.
