An extraordinary ten days as Robert Mugabe stepped down after four decades as president. When it comes to holding onto power few can match the record of the Zimbabwean politician. He famously said, βIβll leave the presidency when God calls me.β In the end it was the army, the people and his own party that forced him out. It didnβt go as smoothly as they hoped.
