Crowds gathered outside Zimbabwe’s Parliament on November 21 as lawmakers opened a session to begin the process of impeaching President Robert Mugabe following a military takeover.

Parliament speaker Jacob Mubenda said the parliament received a motion to impeach Mugabe and would adjourn to a hotel to start the impeachment proceedings, Reuters reported.

The proceedings came after Mugabe defied his Zanu-PF party’s deadline to resign by noon on Monday, November 20. Credit: Periscope/Doug Coltart via Storyful
