Zimbabwe has been experiencing political instability in the last month. A faction of the ruling ZANU-PF party has called for the the resignation of President Emmerson Mnangagwa in light of a reported plan that he would extend his final term after its official end in 2028. Blessed Geza, a veteran of the 1970s war of liberation and former senior member of Mnangagwa's ZANU-PF party, has been leading the verbal attack on the president and called for protests around the country to take place last Monday, March 31.

The recent ruling against Milorad Dodik, sentencing him to a year in prison and banning him from politics for six years, signals a potential decline in his influence.
