Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "2017 Zimbabwean coup d'état" in English language version.
Zimbabwe's Emmerson Mnangagwa has been sworn in as the country's president, bringing the final curtain down on the 37-year rule of Robert Mugabe.
Despite the Zimbabwe army's intervention, the AU did not characterise Mr Mugabe's ousting as a coup, but rather a legitimate expression of the will of Zimbabweans. "The African Union recognises that the Zimbabwean people have expressed their will that there should be a peaceful transfer of power in a manner that secures the democratic future of their country," it said.
