A British think-tank has warned that President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s grip on power faces significant challenges due to the country\u2019s mounting political and economic crises.<\/p>\n

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) said if senior military figures perceive the president has failed to prevent an economic collapse, they could move against his regime.<\/p>\n

The EIU said in its latest report on Zimbabwe:<\/p>\n

\n

The president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, faces growing threats to his authority stemming from ongoing economic and political crises, which are being exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Several clashes have occurred between workers and security services as many people struggle to earn a living.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Further unrest is likely as restrictions remain in place for most workers and the economic crisis continues.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa came to office promising sweeping political and economic changes, raising public and international expectations.<\/p>\n

\u2026 The military plays a central role in domestic politics. If senior military figures perceive the president to be incapable of preventing economic collapse, they could move against him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In 2017, the military moved against the then president, the late Robert Gabriel Mugabe in an operated code-named \u201cOperation Restore Legacy\u201d.<\/p>\n

The coup was launched ostensibly to remove \u201ccriminals\u201d who had surrounded Mugabe.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some opposition political parties and pro-democracy groups are mobilising citizens to join mass protests against corruption slated for July 31.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
