Zimbabwe's Mugabe Turns On Longtime Allies

Reuters reports that former President Robert Mugabe said he would vote for Zimbabwe’s opposition in Monday’s election. The move means he has turned on one-time allies in the government ahead of the first vote since they ousted him in a de facto coup.
The election will see 75-year-old President Emmerson Mnangagwa, a long-time Mugabe ally, face 40-year-old Nelson Chamisa. Chamisa is a lawyer and pastor who is vying to become Zimbabwe’s youngest head of state.
