Rumors of a Coup Are Circling Around Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe. Here’s What We Know

A power struggle over who will succeed the 93-year-old Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe spilled out on the country's streets on Tuesday, when tanks were seen heading towards the country's capital, Harare.

The move follows a threat issued by the head of the armed forces on Nov. 13, who said the military was prepared to step in if a purge continued of senior officials in the ruling Zanu-PF party who had fought in the 1970s liberation war against white minority rule.
