London, UK. 21st February, 2015. Dozens of exiled Zimbabweans gather outside their embassy in London proclaiming Mugabe's last birthday in office. Singing and dancing as they have done every Saturday since 2002, the group spoke with passersby and added yet more names to their petition.

Dozens of exiled Zimbabweans arrived at their country's embassy in London to protest against the 91-year-old's "dictatorship" in the country where he has ruled since 1980, presiding over the collapse of its agro-industrial economy and hyperinflation which at one stage saw even the poorest citizens becoming billionaires with the country's worthless currency. Current unemployment is said to be between 80-90% and Zimbabweans seem to be resigned to seeing Mugabe hand power over to his wife Grace who in recent times has ousted political rivals including Vice President Joyce Mujuru.
