Robert Mugabe: From liberator to tyrant
Robert Mugabe, the man who liberated Zimbabwe after decades of white minority rule only to earn the moniker of tyrant and dictator after holding onto power for 37 years, has died.
Mugabe oversaw the failure of the economy, used his personal militia against opponents and insisted that "only God who appointed me, will remove me."
But the army did remove him in 2017 and he died in Singapore where he was receiving medical treatment.
