According to CNN, a deadline set by the party of Robert
Mugabe to resign as the country’s President has passed without a public
statement, as speculation swirls over the veteran leader’s next move.
A
source with knowledge of negotiations over Mugabe’s future told CNN that the
President had agreed to terms for his exit and that a letter had been drafted.
But
no further details were offered and Mugabe has defied all expectations in the
past week of political turmoil. Efforts to end his 37-year rule appeared still
be in a state of flux after Mugabe stunned the nation on Sunday night by making
a rambling televised statement that unexpectedly did not end in his
resignation.

ZANU-PF party, which he co-founded and led for decades, ousted him as party
leader on Sunday and gave him an ultimatum to relinquish the presidency in
the next 24 hours or face an impeachment vote in Parliament. (CNN. Photo:
