Coup in Zimbabwe: Mugabe under house arrest

[vanguard96]

What's certain that if socialism wasn't once again providing the backdrop for a tinpot dictator that we would not be having this conversation. In that the successors being talked about are cut from the same cloth - his wife or the top military butchers of the past the prospects for meaningful economic reform are limited much as they are in Venezuela. Both countries had bouts of hyperinflation, ridiculous grabs of private property, extrajudicial killings, corrupt deals, and Marxism as the core value of the one-state parties in charge. Sad to see the leftist Zuma approaching the situation from the point of a view of helping Mugabe.

The opposition aren't exactly pro-Mugabe, do note.

The likely successor is another militarist whose hands are not clean in the killing & unlawful arrest and detention of political rivals. I think some people are holding their breaths for change though I am not entirely optimistic.
