Mnangagwa "The Crocodile" l will be back soon when l am safe

The Crocodile, former Zimbabwe vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa, has urged President Robert Mugabe to resign immediately.
Emmerson Mnangagwa said he fled abroad two weeks ago when he learned of a plot to kill him, and he would not return until he was sure of his security. Parliament has now begun a session in which the ruling Zanu-PF party is to start impeaching the president. Mr Mugabe is accused of allowing his wife to "usurp constitutional power". Speaking from an undisclosed location on Tuesday, Mr Mnangagwa said the 93-year-old president should heed the "clarion call" of his people and step down. "I told the President that I would not return home now until I am satisfied of my personal security, because of the manner and treatment given to me upon being fired," he said in a statement. Further street protests have been called in Harare, raising fears that the political turmoil could spill over into violence. Mr Mugabe also suffered humiliation on Tuesday when almost no government ministers heeded his call to attend a cabinet meeting at his State House residence, official media reported. Mr Mnangagwa's intervention is his first public move since the army seized control.
