Mugabe was placed under house arrest on November 15 after the military seized power of the country in overnight operation. With that, a tyrant rule of 37 years came to an end. Zimbabwe may soon get rid of Mugabe’s oppressive rule as he continued to rule the country with a lot of tyranny.
Mugabe was democratically elected in 1980 and he slowly tightened his grip on the people of Zimbabwe with military’s support. During his ruthless rule, the situation in Zimbabwe exacerbated. He started attacking Opposition groups in the country during all the elections. In 2000, he let war veterans seize the white-owned farms which resulted in a collapse of Zimbabwe’s economy.
After the unceremonious seizure of white-lands, Zimbabwe’s inflation had spiked chaotically. The situation in the country has deteriorated to such levels that 70 percent of Zimbabweans now live in poverty.

However, the sad story is that even if Mugabe is removed from the top position, the person who is succeeding him may not provide any immediate relief to the people of Zimbabwe. The figures and the war veterans are exactly the same people who are behind the sorry state of affairs in the country. They are the same people who have supported Mugabe’s oppressive rule.
Mnangagwa has served as Mugabe’s enforcer for quite a long time. He is also known as an astute, ruthless and effective at manipulating the powers. He is also having the support of military and war veterans who are also behind the fall of Zimbabwe. In all likelihood, the change of power will not act as a panacea for the people of Zimbabwe.
