Daily Mail: Robert Mugabe is SACKED by his party and replaced by 'The Crocodile' - but the reviled Zimbabwean dictator is still president and goes on hunger strike after vowing to die for 'what is correct'
* Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has refused to eat since Saturday in a protest against his house arrest
* Mugabe's nephew Patrick Zhuwao said on Saturday that Mr Mugabe was 'willing to die for what is correct'
* Zimbabwe's ruling ZANU-PF party remove Mugabe as its leader at a special meeting, officials said Sunday
* The party replaced Mugabe with the vice president he previously sacked, Emmerson 'Crocodile' Mnangagwa
* It follows rumours that the dictator had fled the country after hundreds of thousands protested his rule
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has been formally dismissed as the leader of the country's ruling party, Zanu-PF, and replaced by the vice president he previously sacked, Emmerson 'Crocodile' Mnangagwa.
It followed all ten Zimbabwean provinces passing no-confidence motions against the dictator on Friday. Although Mr Mugabe technically remains president, the fact that he no longer leads his party means that the end is almost certainly in sight for his 37-year reign.
The development placed Mr Mnangagwa within touching distance of the presidency, delayed only by Mr Mugabe's continued refusal to step down.
