Lesson from Zim

The exit of one of Africa’s longest serving Presidents, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe from power after a staggering 37 years confirms the aphorism that indeed nothing in this world lasts forever!

I have been around long enough to know how a real coup looks like. In Zimbabwe though, it appears that military chiefs there must have read the wrong coup manual or they must have a PhD (real or fake) in executing the perfect coup! Perfect operation it was! Scholars define a coup as a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government.
