According to the source, Mugabe was assured of his safety in his home country as part of the deal leading to his resignation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The world\u2019s oldest ruler ruled Zimbabwe for close to four decades but stepped down on Tuesday after the army seized power and the ruling party turned against him. For him it was very important that he be guaranteed security to stay in the country although that will not stop him from traveling abroad when he wants to or has to.<\/p>\n

He led Zimbabwe from independence in 1980 but stepped down on Tuesday after the army seized power and the ruling party turned against him.<\/p>\n

The former vice president, Emmerson Mnangagwa is set to be sworn in as president on Friday.<\/p>\n

A government source said Mugabe, who is 93, told negotiators he wanted to die in Zimbabwe and had no plans to live in exile.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor him it was very important that he be guaranteed security to stay in the country although that will not stop him from traveling abroad when he wants to or has to,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

Mugabe\u2019s rapid downfall was triggered by a battle to succeed him that pitted Mnangagwa against Mugabe\u2019s wife Grace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
