ICTChris Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The army appear to have ousted the Zanu PF government in Zimbabew, with armoured vehicles patrolling the streets in Harare. Robert Mugabe, President and ruler of the country for four decades, is under house arrest and his wife, the divisive Grace Mugabe has apparently fled the country. Best of all, an army general appeared on television to announce that this was NOT a military coup, absolutely not, no sirree Bob. Although if you turn on the telly expecting EastEnders and get this telling you there most definitely, 100% has NOT been a coup, then there probably has been a coup. Any P&Bers in Zimbabwe? Have any P&Bers ever taken part in a military coup? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I think we're in good hands here. There's always the worry you're going to be taken over by some lads in scruffy tshirts hanging off the back of a Toyota pickup but this lot look like they know the importance of a smart hat and some medals for creating a good impression. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
