‘The army gave the dictator a message earlier today. Either he steps down or they will let the people in to his mansion to take him.
‘The army is threatening to unleash the people and let Mugabe be lynched. The generals said they will not shoot the people for him. Instead, they will abandon their posts and leave him to his fate.’
‘At first, the army was holding him prisoner. Now they are protecting him from the people.’

Robert Mugabe is ‘shaken, tired and dejected’ and has been desperately asking members of his family for advice about whether he should resign, one of the dictator’s nephews told MailOnline, as rumours spread that he had gone missing from his mansion.
