By Staff Reporter| Former President Robert Mugabe has spoken to the visiting African Union Commissioner declaring that the new government is an illegal one run by the army.

Mugabe reportedly complained that the army forcibly took over power and they are running an illegitimate regime.

The report was presented by a source to UK journo Violet Gonda. Gonda yesterday told ZimEye.com the source’s identity cannot be disclosed for their protection seeing the violence that recently befell former Vice President Joice Mujuru last month.

“Been informed by a reliable source that during Mugabe’s meeting with the African Union chair, and in front of Obert Mpofu, Mishek Sibanda et al, RGM stated that he was forced to resign and that the military has taken over both party and state,” wrote Gonda.
