Zimbabwe President Resigns After 37 Years
津巴布韦总统任职37年后辞职
The 93-year-old president of Zimbabwe resigned this week while facing impeachment following an army takeover. Robert Mugabe’s presidency began almost four decades ago in 1980 when Zimbabwe first gained independence from Britain. On November 6 of this year, Mugabe fired his vice-president, a long-term ally. Many in his own party believe he did this to prepare his 52-year-old wife Grace as his successor. In the past two weeks, Mugabe’s allies and party turned against him for this decision and put him under house arrest. Zimbabweans celebrated in the streets after hearing of the president’s resignation. Former vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa is expected to take over the presidency.
津巴布韦93岁的总统于本周辞职,军队接管政权后,他面临着弹劾。罗伯特·穆加贝近40年前——1980年开始担任总统,那时津巴布韦首次从英国独立。今年10月6日,穆加贝解雇了其长期盟友副总统。他政党中的很多人认为他这么做是为了让他52岁的妻子格蕾丝成为其接班人。在过去两周,穆加贝的盟友和政党因为这项决定而反对他,并将其软禁起来。津巴布韦人民得知总统辞职以后涌上街头庆祝。预计前副总统埃默森·姆南加古瓦将接任总统。
