Was China's Anger Over Zimbabwe's Diamonds Behind Mugabe's Sudden Downfall?

(idexonline.com) - Could diamonds have played a part in the downfall of Zimbabwe's, thankfully, ex-President Robert Mugabe? Responsible for untold misery in the poor southern African state, unfortunately Mugabe stayed in control for far longer than should have been the case. Perhaps a debt of gratitude is owed by everyone who wants to see the country rehabilitate itself and enable its wealth to be more fairly shared to Mugabe's extraordinarily greedy and callous wife, Grace. Thanks to her constant pushing and behind-the-scenes scheming, the president made the mistake of firing his long-time vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa in order to make way for his wife to eventually take over from him.
