Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe, on Tuesday resigned from his position after ruling the southern African country for 37 years since 1980.

The 93-year-old's resignation came after a week of intense pressure from the military and the public.

Despite an army takeover and expulsion from his own ruling ZANU-PF party, Mugabe had refused to step down in a defiant televised speech on Sunday, November 19, 2017. However, he sent a letter of resignation to the Zimbabwean parliament on Tuesday, November 21.
