Robert Mugabe, longtime ruler of Zimbabwe, dead at 95
Robert Mugabe, the controversial president of Zimbabwe who was forced to resign in 2017 after decades in power, has died at age 95. Mugabe’s death was confirmed Friday by Emmerson Mnangawa, who succeeded Mugabe as leader of the East African nation. Mugabe, who took power after white minority rule ended in 1980, blamed Zimbabwe's economic problems on international sanctions and once said he wanted to rule for life. But growing discontent about the southern African country's fractured leadership and other problems prompted a military intervention, impeachment proceedings by the parliament and large street demonstrations for his removal.
