in michael to. i am very mica julia you're welcome to the show zimbabwe's former president robert mugabe has died at the age of 95 nearly 2 years after being forced to resign well gobby was about was fast forced independence leda and many remember him as the country's liberator but during almost 4 decades in office he ruled zimbabwe with an iron fist crush and dissent and laying waste economy in a moment we'll hear what life was like and i'm a gobby but fast let's take a look at his somewhat complex legacy. robert mugabe's political career began in the 1960 s. with the formation of a radical anti colonialist movement dedicated to fighting white minority rule.

after zimbabwe became independent $980.00 any actions were held and robert mugabe's son in power cheap won by a landslide mugabe became the country's 1st black prime minister striking a turn a free conciliation and forgiveness despite his militant past. but hopes for a peaceful political transition one fulfilled. political tensions and violence between mcabee supporters and political opponents persisted of a government forces were responsible for killing thousands of civilians. from. the during the 1980 s. and early ninety's mugabe was a welcome guest around the world but by the mid 1990 s. the once venerated freedom fighter was attracting international criticism for his increasingly into tragic rural. white farmers were

driven from their land by mugabe's supporters. that. dissent was violently quashed and opposition leaders when timid aged and beaten. by believing the heechee yes. there will always be. a was even savage in control. but the people of zimbabwe suffered under his rule when mugabe ordered a purge of zimbabwe's slums entire neighborhoods were raised to the ground and up to a 1000000 people made homeless. economically mugabe in ruins and bob with a country that had once been africa's breadbasket. while his people were starving mugabe has celebrated his 91st birthday with a lavish party costing a reported $1000000.00. he once said that only

conte could remove him from office but in the end robert mugabe's insatiable will to power proved his undoing. off to firing his vice president and this and to install his wife grace as his 2nd in command the military intervened good money in the field in a defacto coup they placed mcgarvey under house arrest after 37 years in power he was forced to step down. sparking celebrations in the streets of her are a. side show for. some especially africa well on and look obvious legacy in the fight against white oppression. but many around the world will remember him as the continent's most

notorious dictator. with me in the studio as my colleague from d.w. news africa christine mourned christine it's nice to have you here so you are from zimbabwe you covered the writing to 17 how does his death make you feel you know waking up to that news it was a shock you know i went through the phase a series of all the undoes especially as younger people who who didn't quite live in the colonialism so we already have a new democratic symbol was so we we didn't appreciate what he meant to our parents and the generations before because we didn't understand that but you know speaking to my uncles and my parents and hearing about you know the liberties and the freedom that they got from this matter i had to sort of engage that part of him and there was a side to mugabe that was chummy with tales of him before so there was a part of mugabe i group to that extent but looking at the brutality as a journalist having covered some of it i remember being in the country having to

report i've never been so fearful in my life of being court doing my job in this country that i called back a country of my birth so i'm sitting here today and i'm in the middle you know. we're having this conversation we're talking and we're just saying guys how do we remember the spat it's a difficult one it's he was such a complex man with a complex legacy but you know for me it's just you know there was a side of him that was really oppressive but there was also the good sites him so it's torn reda some would say a cult of me because as well hold on a pair of birds let's get some reactions from the streets of harare. zimbabwe you need a 2 way. to reverse a maze surgeries to increase yours you know according to you as an african major and he's on the new staircase that you're on the street you know. it would read to you what is was it would lead to both but you know. that. you can read. every way but to meet us would be. so overall quite positive reactions there what do you

make of that you know i'm not surprised by that it just goes back to you know people who support mugabe the die hard core supporters somehow exonerated him from everything that that happened and the history they seem to remove him from from the ills they say if it wasn't him it was the people around him especially in the latter years off his tenure they said all you know it was all those people around him even when they ousted him when the military and the guy who is now present him in 2017 they said look it's not mugabe we have an issue with it's those who surround him so many people live in under this since of security that know it was our liberates it didn't do this to us they've also been those in attempt to understand why why why things got to where they are they sort of say well you know over the good you know mugabe it's the influences that were they what were not him and that he was overcoming that he didn't really know the harsh realities of what was going on in the country he didn't know if the hunger and the poverty that when he was a he was still in the best bits and so in that sense i can understand if i can

predict that that people say no surely not mugabe not the guy who gave us the freedom and independence that we have so at what point in time to liberate our become the oppressor you know people talk about when when liesl those land grabs what people some people call land reform which it was a land grabs when people started storming farms and taking the land that was in about 2000 what just before that but let's not remember there's a part that we don't often talk about because it's uncomfortable this was just in the early 1980 s. where men have been a people in must have been and will massacred those people. who were killed with a supporters of who god his opponent and i think that was the 1st time the world saul the british chose to turn the other way and not give it too much attention the walled largely ignored it but i think that was the 1st time we knew to to what extend this man would defend what he felt bus kid is thousands of people died we don't have a number today those people are still crying those involve is a still crying full full recognition they are they still want to apology they've not been given so that's really when resole for the 1st time that this guy for

what's he is leg will be spoiled but after all of this what legacy has mugabe left behind that's an interesting one you know speaking to africans they say this is the man who stood up to the west for us nobody forgets mugabe is classic speeches telling the west gulf you know people still share those videos on social media you know you know dissing west of leaders and talking about how we as africans can do things on our own he was respected for that even among the president community on the continent so there is that it depends who you are really i think every black person wants to be behind this guy because he's i mean people said he made us proud to be black you know in that a time when white people told us you know what this your skin is a kiss so it depends who you are but those who already felt the might of man's wrath but we have a different story thank you very much for sharing that with us christine when you are from you know good news africa.

now pope francis has wrapped up his visit to mozambique with a huge mass in the capital to around $60000.00 people braved the rain to attend the service in the city's is impaired to stadium the book called for unity in the week of the country's recent peace agreement but he also warned of the dangers of corruption criticizing public officials for putting the interest of the public good here's what he had to say. most of the mozambique is a land of abundant natural and cultural riches yet paradoxically great number of people live below the poverty line at times it seems that those who come to decide to help actually have other interests. sadly this happens with brothers and sisters of the same land who let themselves be corrupted. correspondents at their interest spoke to some up all to residents francis left the

country yes his assessment of the pope's visit to was empty. despite the heavy rain sea in the capital not put to the visit of the pope brought happiness and hope to hundreds of thousands specially the youth you are important that was the direct message of the pope to the young people and many of them found it very encouraging considering the massive problems the country is facing black poverty and unemployment. for. the pope's visit has moved to the. young people should follow his words measure move ignore me. reconciliation the message of love and peace that's what he brought another key topic was the fragile peace process in more than baek just a month ago the government scientists historic peace treaty with the former rebel group but some of their fighters are refusing to give up their weapons so while the

pope was in the capital in the center of the country some fighters are still preparing for further attacks so despite calls of the pope to the political leaders for peace and reconciliation the situation here still remains fragile. well that's it for now from d.w. news africa you can catch all our stories on our web site on facebook page so we leave you now in the hands of muslim bacon's celebrating mass with the pope on his last day in the country it was indeed an amazing atmosphere see you again soon have a great weekend. guys.
