I hope this results in more freedom for the people of Zimbabwe and not just a new boss.

I'm optimistic But considering the same people who let him rule all this time are in charge. And the fact that this was more a power play then democratic revolution. I'm also being realistic.

The new boss got to be in the position to become the new boss by being the iron hand of Mugabe that actually swung the cudgel of murder and oppression during Mugabe’s 37 years on the throne. The only reason he revolted is Mugabe stupidly decided to pass him over despite all his loyal oppressive service, and name his Gucci loving wife as his successor instead. If there ever is one person a dictator should favor above even his own beloved and bejeweled wife, it is a right hand man who knows where all the skeletons are buried and who took care to nurture close relationship with the leadership of the army. It’s amazing 2000 years after Caligula tyrants still undo themselves by favoring their wives over the men with direct line to the army. 
Anyone with a spine would have plugged Mugabe 36 years and 11 months ago.

Ever hear of a suicide bomber? Ever hear of a sniper? What about poison? Drugs? Electric shock? There are thousands of ways to take out a tyrant. |
