Background:
The UK annexed Southern Rhodesia from the South Africa Company
in 1923. A 1961 constitution was formulated to keep whites in
power. In 1965 the government unilaterally declared its
independence, but the UK did not recognize the act and
demanded voting rights for the black African majority in the
country (then called Rhodesia). UN sanctions and a guerrilla
uprising finally led to free elections in 1979 and
independence (as Zimbabwe) in 1980. Robert MUGABE, the
nation's first prime minister, has been the country's only
ruler (as president since 1987) and has dominated the
country's political system since independence. |
