Mugabe said that he had talks with the military, and the military generals thought that the fighting within the NLD party had caused serious damage to the economy, and he agreed.
Mugabe said that the differences and contradictions within the party will be discussed and resolved at the national congress to be held in 12 to 17. "I will preside over the process (of the National Congress), and any act that undermines this process should not be allowed."
Mugabe expressed his understanding of military action, saying that military action does not pose a threat to the constitutional order of the country, nor does it pose a challenge to his power as head of state and commander-in-chief of the army. He said that the military action on June 5438+05 was initiated because the military was concerned about the state of affairs of the NLD party and the country.
When Mugabe made a speech, Konstantin Guvia Chivuga, commander of Zimbabwe's defence forces, and other military members sat next to him.
Earlier 19, NLD held a special meeting of the Central Committee, decided to dismiss Mugabe as NLD chairman and first secretary, and asked Mugabe to resign as president before noon on the 20th, otherwise impeachment proceedings would be initiated through parliament.
According to the NLD statement, former Vice President Emerson Mnanagaguwa was elected as the chairman and first secretary of the NLD, and this resolution will be confirmed at the NLD National Congress next month.
Zimbabwe's military took military action in the early morning of June, 5438+05, taking full control of key government departments, and issued a statement on national television denying launching a military coup, saying that it would ensure the safety of President Mugabe and his family. A military spokesman said that the purpose of the operation was to arrest "criminals" in the ruling party and bring them to justice. ?
