Zimbabwe\u2019s Robert Mugabe refused to resign on Sunday, <\/strong>but \u201cinstead delivered a meandering speech on state television that made clear the 93-year-old leader has no plans to leave power,\u201d the Washington Post reports<\/a>. Earlier in the day, Mugabe\u2019s own ZANU-PF had dismissed him from the party, warning him to resign by noon on Monday or face impeachment. Mugabe, who is currently under house arrest, said however that matters would be settled in next month\u2019s party congress, prompting questions over whether \u201che is showing signs of senility\u201d or \u201cdisplaying the same shrewd, stubborn ability to defy his critics that has kept him afloat for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mugabe\u2019s story reminds the <\/strong>Council of Foreign Relations<\/strong><\/a>\u2019 Elliott Abrams of Hosni Mubarak<\/strong>. But while Mubarak tried to pass the torch to his son, Mugabe\u2019s downfall came as he tried to position his wife as his successor.<\/p>\n
