Joy in Zimbabwe as people call on Robert Mugabe to go

Thousands of Zimbabweans are gathering in the streets as they call for the long-time leader, Robert Mugabe, to resign.

People in Harare’s streets are marching to Mugabe’s home, thanking the soldiers, dancing, and demonstrating with signs.

Marchers now camped outside State House. The military are blocking people from getting too close. People are desperate to see the back of Mugabe! #Zimbabwe #SolidariryMarch #MugabeMustGo pic.twitter.com/X9jjY4Bcep

They marched to State House, where they were eventually held back by the military. Protesters have reportedly been peaceful, and no looting or violence has taken place.

Zimbabweans haven't looted the shops owned by foreigners in their demonstration and marches👏👏👏👏. A lesson to other countries. pic.twitter.com/7dfUvv7drg
