Joyce Mujru former vice president has now formed her rival political party. She was one of president Mugabe's most staunch supporters, but political conflict emerged. Zanu-PF has been going through a form of political factionalism, that could result in a dispute that parallels the Dissident's War in the 1980's. Her removal may not be the desire of Mugabe himself, but his wife Grace. Grace Mugabe could have political ambitions of her own hoping to be the designated successor to the party leadership and presidency. Her sudden removal and the accusations of attempting to assassinate president Mugabe are questionable. Joyce Mujru obviously is not aligned with the West like Morgan Tsvangairai and the MDC. This could have a destabilizing effect, if this new party seeks external contributions. It raises other questions of the dangers of a post-Mugabe Zimbabwe descending into civil war.
