This was already pretty much a done deal a few days ago when the military locked him in his palace.
But now it’s official.
President Robert Mugabe’s own party voted to oust him as its leader on Sunday, a day after thousands of Zimbabweans took to the streets to celebrate his stunning fall from power after a military takeover.

Cheers and dancing broke out in the building after the vote, according to video shared on social media.

Really, Mugabe is white people’s fault, you know. Because of colonialism and such.
This is just an example of what a typical African country looks like when white people take a step back:
