Dictator Robert Mugabe has finally resigned today, ending his 37-year rule of Zimbabwe after the country's ousted vice president - dubbed 'The Crocodile' - ordered him to quit.
Zimbabwe's parliament erupted in wild celebrations as the announcement was made that the 93-year-old had resigned 'with immediate effect'.
Zanu-PF officials said former vice president Emmerson 'The Crocodile' Mnangagwa would take over. The Parliament's leader said he was working on legal issues to appoint a new president within 48 hours.
Mugabe had been accused of allowing his wife Grace, 52, to 'usurp' power and of being too old to rule. It is not clear what will now happen to his loathed wife, dubbed Gucci Grace for her lavish spending, who has not been seen since she and her husband were held under house arrest last week.

WNU Editor: As this blog predicted two days ago .... he "signed a letter" announcing his resignation .... Resignation letter of Zimbabwe's Mugabe doesn't mention who he leaves in charge (Reuters). Hmmmm .... my gut tells me that this letter was not written by him, and as for his signature .... a part of me wonders if he knew what he was signing .... or if he signed it all.
