Who stands to benefit from the recent military toppling of Mugabe in
Zimbabwe? The military and his own party have “convinced” 93-year-old
Robert Mugabe to surrender office after
37 years of iron-fisted rule over one of resource-rich Africa’s richest
lands. Little discussed is the fact that the country holds some of the
world’s most valuable mineral deposits and that China, USA, and former
colonial power Britain all have their eyes on that wealth. The problem
is that the US and Britain have soured their chances by years of severe
economic sanctions, leaving China in a very positive position.
