MUGABE EMERGES AU CHAIRMAN

Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe, took over the post of African Union chairman on Friday, replacing Mauritania’s president Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz.
Mugabe, Africa’s oldest president, aged 90, shook hands with Abel Aziz in front of fellow leaders to applause at the AU summit in the Ethiopian capital.
“By electing me to preside over this august body, with full knowledge of the onerous responsibility that lies ahead, I humbly accept your collective decision,” he said.

Mugabe, a former liberation war hero who is Africa’s third-longest serving leader, is viewed with deep respect by many on the continent.
But he is also subject to travel bans from both the United States and European Union in protest of political violence and intimidation by his government.
Mugabe, a former guerrilla leader who has ruled Zimbabwe since independence in 1980, is accused of crushing opponents to ensure his ZANU-PF party won every election for more than three decades.
