Zimbabwe latest news live: Developments as Emmerson Mnangagwa makes first appearance after Robert Mugabe's resignation

Zimbabwe's recently fired vice president has returned to the country to be sworn in as leader after a week of turmoil saw the military swoop into the capital and oust Robert Mugabe.

Emmerson Mnangagwa addressed huge crowds outside the ruling party's headquarters on Wednesday as he made his first public appearance after going into hiding.

He had fled the country earlier this month, claiming to have received threats on his life.

Mugabe, 93, announced his resignation in the middle of impeachment proceedings against him on Tuesday.

The country erupted into scenes of joy, with cheering and dancing in the streets going on late into the night as people celebrated the end of a leader whose rule was overtaken by economic collapse, government dysfunction and human rights violations.
