Robert Mugabe Keeps Zimbabwe Waiting As He Refuses To Resign Presidency

Robert Mugabe has not resigned as President of Zimbabwe in a live TV address, despite widespread expectations that his departure was imminent.

The dictator was widely expected to announce his departure from power after the ruling party, Zanu-PF, removed him as leader and warned that he faces impeachment if he does not step down voluntarily.

In a rambling address to the nation on the state broadcaster, ZBC, he said the country needed to move forward and resolve the differences "between the generations".

He said he will preside over the party's congress in December where they will "collectively start process that returns our nation to normalcy".

But the head of the influential war veterans association, Chris Mutsvangwa, said plans to impeach Mr Mugabe would go ahead as scheduled and said the people would take to the streets of the capital Harare on Wednesday.
