{UAH} Mugabe spent 11 years in jail

1.Mugabe embraced socialism. He spent 11 years in jail, waging a rebellion from behind bars. After Zimbabwe's Independence, Mugabe was elected prime minister. After two terms, he abolished the position and became president in 1987, a post he held for 30 years
2.  Despite poor school and job prospects for most black people, he gained a Jesuit education and thrived in academia.
3.  In 1996, he married Grace Marufu at the Kutama Catholic Mission.
4.  When Mugabe took power, Zimbabwe began to recover from conflict. But a land reform policy that saw black farmers take over white-owned farms sparked domestic outrage.
5.  After the land reform was passed, Western nations slapped sanctions on the country. Mugabe blamed those sanctions for the economic collapse that followed.
6.  During his time in power, Mugabe met Cuba's President Fidel Castro several times. He praised his government for having trained thousands of Zimbabwean doctors and teachers.  
7.  Mugabe and South Africa's former President Nelson Mandela were political leaders and contemporaries whose backgrounds were very similar, however their paths eventually diverged.  
8.  Mugabe also met the Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] Yasser Arafat, who reportedly praised the leader for his solidarity towards the Palestinian people.
9.  In 2017, Mugabe was forced to step down by the military, following nationwide mass protests.
