Military Dynamics In The Democratisation Of Zimbabwe: Demystifying The Conundrum
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
In November 2017 the Zimbabwe Defense Forces staged a bloodless coup de tat that removed former President Robert Gabriel Mugabe from power, effectively ending his 37-year old rule. The army took complete control of the airport, broadcasting services, the president’s residence, manned all major roads and streets in and around Harare, took control of the parliament, subjected the president to house arrest, suspended and relieved the police of their duties in an operation codenamed “Restore Legacy.” The army repudiated such an undertaking as a military coup, lightly preferring to call it a bloodless correction or military constitutionalism. This act ushered in a new political dimension in the democratisation of Zimbabwe since 1980 when the country attained its independence. This paper examines and dissects how the Zimbabwean political drama unfolded and moves that the Zimbabwean scenario suffices a military coup.
