Mugabe's decades-long grip on power appeared to be over this morning after military vehicles blocked roads (main and top left) in Harare and soldiers delivered a late-night television address to the nation (inset, top), declaring they were 'targeting criminals'. Deposed vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa (bottom right), 75, a veteran of Zimbabwe's 1970s liberation wars who was sacked by Mugabe earlier this month, has returned from exile. It was not clear this morning where Mugabe, 93, was being held, but the military said last night that their 'security is guaranteed'. Opposition MP Eddie Cross this morning said that he believed Mugabe's wife Grace (top right), 52, had fled to Namibia having been allowed to leave the country last night. Mail.
