**Zimbabwe's Political Turmoil: Mnangagwa Faces Internal Party Uprising**
Calls for mass protests against President Emmerson Mnangagwa reshape Zimbabwe's political landscape amid economic turmoil.
In a dramatic turn of events, President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe is confronting an internal revolt within his own ZANU-PF party, marking the most significant challenge to his authority since he ascended to power nearly eight years ago following a coup. Amid ongoing economic distress and allegations of corruption, party members are calling for widespread protests to demand his resignation.
In a recent statement at a ZANU-PF gathering, Mnangagwa condemned the demands for his ousting as “treasonous,” labeling those advocating for it as deceitful “chameleon-like characters.” This conflict has placed Zimbabwe, a nation long characterized by political instability and economic crisis, on the brink of potential violence, with the populace understandably anxious about the unfolding situation.
Over the years, Zimbabwe has grappled with relentless hyperinflation, resulting in dire economic conditions where the national currency has lost its value, leading to widespread poverty. The Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce highlights that around 80 percent of the country's workforce is entrenched in the informal sector, often facing meager wages and no job security.
Zimbabwe's political struggles have also sparked international concern, leading to reputational damage and sanctions imposed by the United States against high-ranking officials, including Mnangagwa. As protests loom, the country watches closely to see how the political landscape may shift in response to both internal pressures and economic realities.
