Former President Robert Mugabe (95), who led the country for 37 years in Zimbabwe in southern Africa, died in hospitalized Singapore. Zimbabwe ’s President Munangagwa revealed on his Twitter on the morning of the 6th.

Mugabe conducts Zimbabwe ’s struggle for independence, followed by white domination. After leading independence in 1980, he became prime minister and president. Although there were achievements such as improving the literacy rate of youth, they oppressed hostile opposition supporters and were criticized as “dictators”.

In the 2000s, white farms were forcibly confiscated. Economic sanctions were imposed by Western countries, and in 2008, over 230 million% of hyperinflation was invited.

In November 2005, Mugabe was chased by the army that was in conflict with the successor. From around April this year, I was sick and admitted to a hospital in Singapore. (Johannesburg = Takashi Ishihara)
