Zimbabwean President Resigns

A week after the military seized power in Zimbabwe the president, Robert Mugabe, has resigned. The 93-year old led the country for 37 years.

Emmerson Mnangagwa will serve out the remainder of Mugabe's term. Elections are scheduled for August 2018.

As I mentioned before, Zimbabwe is not the kind of place that tolerates criticism of the government, which is why I will continue to refrain from making any remarks; however, I would encourage you to go online and check out the archives of The New York Times to get a sense of how all of the events unfolded.

Even after a rather tumultuous week, I continue to feel completely safe, especially as life slowly returns to normal. Still, I appreciate all of your concern and best wishes.

Stay tuned to the latest news in Zimbabwe. It's bound to be a wild ride.

Zimbabwe Under Military Control

If you've been following world news, I'm sure by now you know that the military has temporarily assumed control in Zimbabwe and put President Robert Mugabe under house arrest.

Because of the country's strict laws against criticizing the government, it would be reckless for me to publicly comment on what has been unfolding over the last week.

However, I can assure everyone that I am quite safe and do not feel at all threatened by the proceedings.

If things were to deteriorate considerably, I would not hesitate to leave.

Thanks for all of your concern.
