Robert Mugabe was one of the most controversial figures in African history. He led Zimbabwe to independence from white minority rule in 1980, and ruled the country for 37 years. During his time in power, Mugabe was accused of human rights abuses, corruption, and economic mismanagement.

In 2017, Mugabe was forced to resign after a military coup. He died in 2019 at the age of 95.
