Tens of thousands of people have joined in a rally in Zimbabwe’s capital Harare on Saturday morning to demand the resignation of President Robert Mugabe.

The military in Zimbabwe took control of the country on Wednesday to “target criminals” around the president, Robert Mugabe. We’d like you to share your reaction to the latest events.

After seizing state TV, army spokesman Maj Gen SB Moyo announced it was targeting people close to Mr Mugabe who had caused “social and economic suffering”, saying Mugabe and his family were “safe and sound and their security is guaranteed”.

The move came after Mr Mugabe sacked his deputy, Emmerson Mnangagwa, in favour of his wife, Grace amid a bitter battle over who will succeed 93-year-old Mugabe.
