A former school teacher turned revolutionary, Mugabe served more than a decade in prison for political crimes against the minority white government in the 1960s. In 1980, after a seven-year war, he was elected prime minister in Zimbabwe’s first free elections.
He supported the redistribution of white-controlled land to blacks, first on a voluntary basis and later by violent means. Although his rule saw the country suffer famine and economic decline, he was re-elected seven times in campaigns that were often marked by violence and fraud. Yet many Zimbabweans hailed him as a hero, and in 2017 he was planning to run for another term in office at the age of 93. But members of his own party, fearful that Mugabe might be planning to name his second wife as his successor, ousted him in a coup.
Although removed from power, Mugabe lived out his final years in his mansion in Zimbabwe’s capital, traveling abroad to seek medical treatment. His death was announced by his successor, President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who called him an “icon of liberation."
I think that justice is a personal issue now, every individual one of us have our own idea of what we believe justice should be.
He wasn't Good
Lie, He was a good Pres.
Here wondering how it would be framed if the subject was Trump
So, it didn’t come from the President, just some underling?
Fair and accurate. Obviously not written by any trump appointee.
Say that about northkorea
He sounds like a liberal democrat...
THE USA IS SORRY FOR THE CLINTON CABAL!! ClintonBodyCount ClintonCabal
The best friend of yugoslav communist's killer tito...
He had good intentions at the beginning and seen as a hero by many but there should be an age limit to ruling a country. Getting old and having lots of power is not a good mix
Good, he lived too long
a terrorist that destroyed a country- Rhodesia ! stole thousand of european farms that supported the government !
Good bye.
He chased the colonizers out of Rhodesia lol RIP
Ja foi tarde bandido sanguinario. Estive no zimbabwe na sua epoca . Era temido por todos e nao fez nada para melhorar o pais fez foi retroceder apos libera-lo da inglaterra
Cde Mugabe was a hero to many Zimbabweans.He redistributed land from 6,000 white farmers to 245,000 black farmers, which led to sanctions that crashed Zimbabwe's economy.
Should be worded ruthless dictator.
Kya ye history India may repeat hogi ?
Power corrupts.... look at Trump! Complete power corrupts completely..... DO NOT GIVE TRUMP COMPLETE POWER NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO!! He’s is as corrupt as the day is long.... Americans gotta’s throw him out of office!!
Cuándo será el turno para el animal de Venezuela?
You're late
“Liberator” says the “journalist”.
v
Write properly
He lived a long life, and now he knows the rest of the story. May he know God’s mercy & love. May he have heard “Welcome home, my good & faithful servant.”
'Liberator?' I'm sure that was an auto correct of Dictator, right?
how do you say liberator and dictator in the same sentence was it Zimbabwe that used to be Rhodesia? ahh that's right.
Finally he died, the man who traded rice for votes to steal from Zimbabwe. RIP.
And let him enter the devils kingdom for eternity to be tortured by the devil himself.
POS
Nothing last forever. Condolence to the family.

He Isn't a dictator he was a great header who lead his country on freedom walk also he was a patriot who love Zimbabwe Stop talking bullshit about him BBC

All of these comments aside, the real question is how the hell did this dude live to 95?
If StevieWonder had known what RobertMugabe was like, he’d changed the lyrics in masterBlaster to “peace should have come to Zimbabwe “
DickTator
for 37 years and embrassed Bush ..fake news
Shameless kleptocrat. Set his country back decades.
I was on an Aeroplane for 8 hours & sat next to Mugabe. I can assure the world that during that flight I discovered Mugabe was a racist, drunk bully. I watched him attack Harold Wilson also on board. A total DISGRACE, African people should Rejoice in his demise. Good Riddance!
দুঃক্ষ জনক
haters gone report like that African icon Mugabe Rip
Dirty bastard gone hell, now waiting for lightning strikes to his graveyard
Damn. Wrong dictator.
And Francisco Franco is still dead.
Hallelujah!!!!
When it was Rhodesia the country was very prosperous when Ian smith was the pm of the state after its independence. Mugabe corrupted the system and stole millions of dollars 💵
It’s just so sad that he didn’t live long enough for Angelina Jolie to adopt him.
awesome
Don't forget to say the Europeans came to his land and took Zimbabwe's land and mineral resources. Later the West sanctioned Zimbabwe economically as a result it became poor.
Zimbabwe will never recover from what he did to it! Dictator, murderer, robber and thief. Report the facts please!
He was not a dictator thats a European narrative we Zimbabweans even in the oppostion do not believe
Good!
What is your definition of dictator
The good news: Dictators are mortal too...
Condolences. RIP.
