In a very recent and surprising turn of events, President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe resigned, becoming the 3rd African President to step down from power this year after over 2 decades of rule. Prior to his resignation, Angola’s President José Eduardo dos Santos stepped down after 38 years of rule. Also, in The Gambia, President Yahyah Jammeh was forced out after losing elections – this effectively ended his 23-year rule.
