      How did Robert Mugabe establish his dictatioral rule in Zimbabwe after independence?

    Answer:

                      Zimbabwe attained independence from white minority rule in 1980. After independence, the country has been ruled by ZANU-PF, the party that led the freedom struggle. Its leader Mugabe has been ruling since independence. Mugabe is popular, but also uses unfair practices in elections. Over the years, his government has changed the constitution several times to increase the power of the President and make him less accountable. Opposition party workers are harassed, public protests against the government are delcared illegal and both electronic and print media are controlled by the government. Even the government ignores the court judgements that go against it. He has reelected in 2013 at the age of 89 for another five years. His supporters characterise him as a true Pan-Africanist who stands strong against forces of imperialism in Africa.
