(Baonghean.vn) - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is an outspoken, highly educated politician but has also caused a lot of controversy during his record-breaking tenure in power.
 |
| Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe was born on February 21, 1924 in Kutama, Zimbabwe. He is highly educated, having attended several universities, including the University of Fort Hare, the University of London and the University of South Africa. |
 |
| Robert Mugabe rose to prominence in the 1960s as leader of the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) in its guerrilla war against the ruling white minority in Rhodesia (1964–1979). |
 |
| He served as Prime Minister of Zimbabwe from 1980 to 1987 and as first President from 1987. On December 31, 1987, Robert Mugabe officially became President of Zimbabwe and was once praised by Africans as a hero fighting for independence. |
 |
| There is no denying that Mugabe was an outspoken, highly educated politician who also caused a lot of controversy during his 37-year reign. |
 |
| During his leadership, Zimbabwe was one of the poorest countries in the world with a record high inflation rate of up to 500% in 2008. Specifically, under Mugabe, Zimbabwe's inflation reached 11 million% and the AIDS rate was among the highest in Africa and life expectancy was among the lowest in the world. |
 |
| Mr Mugabe's policies, which included seizing and redistributing farms once owned by whites, dragged one of Africa's most promising economies into a deep recession for nearly a decade. |
 |
| Zimbabwe used to be one of the dream lands of Africa with its rich resources, strong agricultural sector and abundant human resources. However, Mr. Mugabe almost exhausted everything after 37 years of rule. |
 |
| However, in 2016, Mr. Mugabe still planned to run for a second term in the 2018 election, despite turning 94 years old. |
 |
| But that intention may not be realized when today (November 15), the Zimbabwean Army took control of the capital Harare and detained the country's president, putting Mr. Mugabe at risk of having to resign. |
