Zimbabwe: Mugabe resigns, ending 37-year rule

Harare, Nov 22 : Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe has resigned, bringing an end to 37 years of rule and sparking jubilant celebrations in the nation’s streets, a BBC report said.

A letter from Mr Mugabe read out by the Speaker of Parliament said the decision was voluntary and he had made it to allow a smooth transfer of power.

The news abruptly halted an impeachment hearing that had begun against him.
