Zimbabwe loyalists make surprise break with Mugabe

HARARE- Veterans of Zimbabwe's independence war have made a significant break with President Robert Mugabe for the first time, calling him dictatorial, manipulative and egocentric.

 

The Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association has been a pillar of support for the 92-year-old leader for decades, but it released a statement Thursday criticizing the man it had long been quick to defend.

 

The group says it will no longer support Mugabe's political campaigns, accusing him of abandoning it for the youth league of the ruling party ZANU-PF.
