There has been a coup d’etat in Zimbabwe.  The military has taken over and apparently deposed Mugabe and his regime, although denying such is the case.

From the Wall Street journal:-

“Zimbabwe’s military seized control of state television and the international airport and launched operations to subdue what it called the country’s “degenerating” political establishment, even as it denied it was ousting longtime leader President Robert Mugabe……

…… “We wish to make it abundantly clear that this is not a military takeover of government,” Maj. Gen. Sibusiso Moyo said early Wednesday. “What the Zimbabwe Defence Forces is doing is to pacify a degenerating political, social and economic situation in our country.”………………


………….The military’s actions took place just hours after its chief was accused of treason by Mr. Mugabe’s party, which only days before fired the president’s powerful vice president. The firing was seen as clearing the way for the 93-year-old leader to install his 52-year-old wife, Grace, as one of his two deputies and hoist her into a prime position to succeed him.”

Adolf looks forward to expressions of righteous indignation from all those people who bemoaned Commodore Bainimara’s military removal of a corrupt regime in Fiji.
