انقلاب عسكري في زيمبابوى .. و موقابي رهن الاقامة الجبرية في منزله ...

(CNN) — Zimbabwe's military has seized control in an apparent coup, deploying tanks to
the streets of the capital Harare, and declaring that 93-year-old President Robert Mugabe was "safe."

In a dramatic televised statement in the early hours of Wednesday morning,
an army spokesman denied that a military takeover was underway.

But the situation bore all the hallmarks of a coup: The army was in control at state TV in Harare,
there was a significant military presence at the international airport, and Mugabe's whereabouts were unknown for hours.
South African President Jacob Zuma later said Mugabe was confined to his home.

It came after weeks of political turmoil, in which Mugabe sacked his powerful Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa,
who enjoyed wide support in the military and was tipped
to become the next leader. The move fueled speculation Mugabe would try to install his wife, Grace, to succeed him.
