Who is in charge of Zimbabwe?

The embattled President Robert Mugabe is clinging to power and faces impeachment.

Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe appears to have ignored a deadline to resign. His ruling ZANU-PF party had told him he must step down by Monday or be impeached.

Now it says that process will begin. The party is accusing Mugabe of being responsible for political instability and an unprecedented economic tailspin. And frustration is turning to anger with hundreds of students out protesting, demanding Mugabe leave office.

So what is next for Zimbabweans desperate for change?
