Army warns Mugabe to go as thousands of Zimbabweans take to the streets to end the bloody dictator's 37-year reign - but his nephew says the president will 'die for what is right'


Thousands of people took to the streets of Harare today in a historic show of unity to demand an end to the 37-year reign of dictator Robert Mugabe, who has now been thrown out of his own party. Military helicopters flew low overhead as huge crowds marched into the centre of the city, waving Zimbabwean flags and chanting ‘remove the dictator’ and ‘Mugabe, our country is not your property’. Some also shouted ‘Ngwena, Ngwena’, or ‘Crocodile, Crocodile’, in support of sacked vice-president Emmanuel ‘Crocodile’ Mnangagwa, the favourite to become the next leader. The 93-year-old Mugabe technically remains as president and remained defiant in his Blue Roof mansion.
