President Robert Mugabe has agreed to resign after 37 years in power, following talks with the military, reports say.
From AP: Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe is resigning after nearly four decades in power, according to an official close to the talks on his departure.
The news came hours after the ruling party's Central Committee on Sunday fired Mugabe as party leader and said if he didn't resign as the country's president by noon Monday it would start impeachment proceedings.
Mugabe was set to address the nation shortly on state-run television. The official close to the talks spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
It is an extraordinary end to 37 years in power for the world's oldest head of state, who had vowed to rule until death.
