...A coup d'état (, (plural: coups d'état) or coup for short, is the sudden unconstitutional deposition of a government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment—typically the military—to replace the deposed government with another, either civil or military. A coup d’état succeeds when the usurpers establish their legitimacy if the attacked government fail to thwart them, by allowing their (strategic, tactical, political) consolidation and then receiving the deposed government’s surrender; or the acquiescence of the populace and the non-participant military forces.

We will begin to drive only when necessary, conserve energy by turning off lights, etc. Eventually we will demand that the govt get off it's butt and instead of worrying about Iraq and other oil rich countries, use those resources to get our country off of fossil fuels and into something that is renewable and in the long run cheaper. It is going to be painful for us for a while but sooner or later it will happen! |

Has Zimbabwe undergone a de According to reports, since
Mugabe lost the first round of
presidential elections the
country has been overtaken by
a military coup by stealth. Is
this true?

Well we do know that its the army which is influencing Mugabe now but the M&G did say Mugabe was ready to step down but he was advised by his Generals not to. You may say its a coup sort-of. But its not a real coup. |
