Robert Mugabe - From Mountaintop to Valley
He took his country to the mountaintop. Politically savvy and naturally aware, Robert Mugabe was a puzzle no one could solve. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair gave up because Mugabe was a wordsmith who could flip any comment into a movement. At his zenith, top global universities spread his face on their admission brochures: come to us, we will make Mugabe out of you. He was one of his generation’s finest - as a fighter and as a leader.
But Mugabe made a u-turn, intoxicated by the pill of excess power. Then, he lost friends - at home and abroad - and everything began to fade. His national currency divorced him, his economy took refuge, and Zimbabwe wanted out.
Mugabe died today, aged 95 years.
