What next for Zimbabwe ?

Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe has resigned with immediate effect. Probably some kind of deal was done but the party that he represented was going to get him impeached for all the things which he has done in the past. But they were implicit in this as well. So hard to see how they could say that without taking some of the rap too.

So there is now going to be a "smooth transition". What does that mean. One would hope for the Country and people that it is but is it a case that the ruling party are just putting their person back in? Maybe free elections for the people to choose their way forward is good too?

In the past it has been other country's that have removed leaders of country's like Libya and Iraq etc rightly or wrongly but these country's have not turned out for the better. Hopefully in time they will but it is hard to see that happening any time soon yet their people suffer.

In this case though it is his own that has turned on him which maybe different and crate a smooth transition but it has to be for the better of the people and not just the ruling party.
