Mugabe and Zimbabwe: 50 years of struggle

Robert Mugabe’s letter of resignation brings to an end his 37-year-old leadership in Zimbabwe.

White farmers had their valuable lands seized on his orders and given to the families of resistance fighters. 00:11 THE BUSH WAR 02:10 NEGOTIATIONS 02:47 INDEPENDENCE 03:38 MATABELELAND KILLINGS 07:28 FARM INVASIONS 20:40 THE MDC CHALLENGE 24:04 THE BRITISH ISSUE 30:44 ‘DISCARDING THE FILTH’ 35:12 A ZIMBABWE COALITION 38:40 A PERIOD OF GRACE 42:55 ‘NOT A COUP’ Subscribe to us and get more videos from Channel 4 News https://www.youtube.com/c/channel4news
