Zimbabwe’s Mugabe, coup chief meet with smiles and handshakes | Reuters

HARARE (Reuters) - A smiling President Robert Mugabe was pictured shaking hands with Zimbabwe’s military chief a day after the army seized power, throwing confusion over predictions that the 93-year-old’s nearly four-decade rule had come to an end.
