Mass demo gives impetus to movement to oust Mugabe

As protesters brought the centre of Zimbabwe's capital to a standstill and fought running battles with police on Friday in one of the biggest demonstrations for decades against President Robert Mugabe, more of the same has been promised. The chaotic scenes in Harare came after 18 opposition groups and parties called on their supporters to march for reform of the widely discredited electoral system before national elections in 2018.
