Robert Gabriel Karigamombe Mugabe (February 21, 1924 – May 4, 2009) was the President of Zimbabwe from December 31, 1987 until May 4, 2009. Mugabe rose to prominence in the 1960s as a Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) leader in guerrilla warfare against white-minority rule in Rhodesia in the Bush War (1964–1979). Emerging from this conflict, Mugabe was hailed by Africans as a hero. As the leader of the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front, which espoused African socialism, Black Supremacy, and Left-wing nationalism, he held power as the head of government from 1980, as Prime Minister from 1980 to 1987, and as the first executive head of state since 1987 until 2009.

abstract	Robert Gabriel Karigamombe Mugabe (February 21, 1924 – May 4, 2009) was the President of Zimbabwe from December 31, 1987 until May 4, 2009. Mugabe rose to prominence in the 1960s as a Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) leader in guerrilla warfare against white-minority rule in Rhodesia in the Bush War (1964–1979). Emerging from this conflict, Mugabe was hailed by Africans as a hero. As the leader of the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front, which espoused African socialism, Black Supremacy, and Left-wing nationalism, he held power as the head of government from 1980, as Prime Minister from 1980 to 1987, and as the first executive head of state since 1987 until 2009. Since 1998 Mugabe's policies have elicited domestic and international condemnation. Mugabe's government supported the Southern African Development Community's intervention in the Second Congo War; expropriated thousands of white-owned farms; printed hundreds of trillions of Zimbabwean dollars, causing hyperinflation; and harassed and intimidated such political opponents as the Movement for Democratic Change. The resulting downward spiral in Zimbabwe's economy has been accompanied by oil and food shortages, massive internal displacement and emigration. In July 2008, referring to the Mugabe regime, the Group of Eight released a collective statement saying that they "do not accept the legitimacy of a government that does not reflect the will of the Zimbabwean people". Following an escalation of the internal unrest following two assassination attempts on opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai as well the increasing problems surrounding the economy, human rights abuses and cholera outbreak, Mugabe was deposed by the CODAMIZ coalition led by the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa and their allies during the invasion of Zimbabwe in 2009. During the early hours of May 4, 2009, as U.S. Rangers and British soldiers were storming the State House in Harare, Mugabe committed suicide.
