He described the 93-year old Mugabe, as a “great fighter” and “African hero,” who should have resigned a more honourable manner.
The A.U. president called on the military to ensure that the country is returned to constitutional rule.
Even though Mugabe’s resignation was voluntary, it is believed that he was under pressure to step down.
His resignation letter was read by Zimbabwe’s Speaker of Parliament when the house had met to begin an impeachment process.
