Three days later, Mugabe was off to Addis Ababa for the AU Summit where he became the continental body chairman. He returned on February 4 and was to leave to pick up his wife Grace from the Far East where she was recuperating following an operation.

Two weeks later, Mugabe was in South Africa to attend the Sadc Troika on Lesotho. The President flew to Japan on March 10 and arrived back on March 17.

While he was away, the country witnessed effects of a country in crisis beginning with the Chikurubi riots that officials say left five people dead. The riots at the University of Zimbabwe were another thing that observers said Zimbabwe was a country ready to explode if the national leaders do not address the issues.
