The Military took over from Mugabe, put him in House Arrest

Politics.

The Zimbabwean military took over the Robert Mugabe led government on Wednesday saying it wasn't a coup but a move aimed at targeting the criminals in the president 's entourage.

Soldiers stormed the state broadcaster, ZBC and a general went live on television to announce the takeover. There were armored vehicles mounting blockages on the roads to government offices and courts in central Harare.

It has not been established whether the military takeover is to formally end Mugabe’s 37 years rule but the major goal of the military is to prevent Mugabe's wife, Grace from succeeding him.

Robert Mugabe fired his vice and presumed successor last week, an attempt to pave way for Grace Mugabe to take over. This move led to a political crisis in the country and triggered the military intervention.

“We are only targeting criminals around him (Mugabe) who are committing crimes that are causing social and economic suffering in the country in order to bring them to justice,” Major General SB Moyo, Chief of Staff Logistics, said on television.

“As soon as we have accomplished our mission, we expect that the situation will return to normalcy.”

Mugabe, 93 has been in power since the country's independence in 1980.
