Celebrations on streets of Zimbabwe after Mugabe resigns
Zimbabweans are celebrating in the streets following President Robert Mugabe's resignation.
The Zimbabwean president handed in his resignation to the Speaker of Parliament on Tuesday.
Mugabe's resignation follows mounting pressure for him to step down as head of state.
The 93-year-old has been in power for 37 years.
His resignation comes mere hours after impeachment proceedings were set in motion in the Zimbabwean Parliament on Tuesday.
