In Zimbabwe, longtime leader Robert Mugabe remains under house arrest and is reportedly refusing to resign as president, after Zimbabwe’s military seized the Parliament, courts, government offices and the main airport in the capital, Harare. Robert Mugabe has held power since Zimbabwe declared independence from the United Kingdom 37 years ago. The 93-year-old leader was working to hand over power to his wife, 52-year-old Grace Mugabe. On Wednesday, African Union Commission Chair Moussa Faki Mahamat called for a democratic resolution to the political crisis in Zimbabwe.

Moussa Faki Mahamat: “The military has reassured us this is not a coup d’état. As you know, the African Union is against any unconstitutional change of government. This is a very fundamental principle of the African Union, and we systematically condemn any regime change by arms, whether it be military or rebellion.”
