The inauguration of Zimbabwe’s new President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who in his address to a packed stadium, vowed to serve all citizens, is over.
It is the culmination of a dramatic 10 days in Zimbabwe, with a military takeover, mass demonstrations and Robert Mugabe’s resignation after 37 years of authoritarian rule.
Mr Mnangagwa did pay tribute to Mr Mugabe, calling him “a father, mentor, comrade-in-arms and my leader”.
