But she prays Zimbabwe will be an exception.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not as interested in Mugabe\u2019s resignation as I am with what comes after.<\/p>\n<p>There are too many examples of countries that have been through this and turned out far worse off than they were with the \u201cdictators\u201d they did away with. I just hope Zimbabwe is the exception,\u201d she said on Twitter ahead of Mugabe\u2019s resignation.<\/p>\n<p>Mugabe resigned as president of Zimbabwe on Tuesday November. A letter from Mr Mugabe said that the decision was voluntary and that he had made it to allow a smooth transfer of power, the Reuters news agency reported on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The surprise announcement halted an impeachment hearing that had begun against him.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers roared in jubilation and people have begun celebrating in the streets.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Mugabe had previously refused to resign despite last week\u2019s military takeover and days of protests. He has been in power since independence in 1980.<\/p>\n<p>What triggered the moves to oust him was his dismissal of Emmerson Mnangagwa as vice president two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>That decision was seen by many as clearing the way for Mr Mugabe\u2019s wife, Grace, to succeed her husband as leader. It riled the military leadership, who stepped in and put Mr Mugabe under house arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Lydia says she does not support dictatorship. She abhors it as she does to western propaganda through media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor as long as we continue to wallow in blissful IGNORANCE!! We depend 100% on western media and their idea of who\u2019s good\/bad for us.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not for dictatorship of any kind, but I despise it the same way I do western propaganda, neo colonialism and \u201cre-colonialism\u201d through media influence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t even speak openly about these things without western media misrepresenting it. They\u2019ll gleefully talk about a leader oppressing his people, BUT NEVER their own continued \u201cinstitutional\u201d oppression of the African continent and black race as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s amazing how women are often held responsible for a man\u2019s fall from grace, yet seldom are they applauded for a man\u2019s achievements. #GraceMugabe,\u201d she said in a chain of tweets.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: 49 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 22 November 2017 Source: dailyguideafrica.com 2017-11-22 Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson Actress Lydia Forson is not too certain about what would happen to Zimbabwe after the country\u2019s president, Robert Mugabe, resigned.
