90 year old Zimbabwean president fell at Harare airport

Ninety-year-old Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe fell on
Wednesday after addressing a crowd at Harare Airport.
The incident, witnessed by newsmen, increased concern about
his health, but his Spokesman, George Charamba, said the
president had "just missed a step’’ when coming down from
the podium.
Mugabe had just returned from Addis Ababa, where he had
assumed the chairmanship of the African Union.
He was quickly helped to stand by his aides and escorted
away.
Press photographers said that security guards forced them to
delete pictures of the president lying on the floor.
Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since 1980 and refused to
appoint a successor, frequently visited the Far East for medical
check-ups.
The government had denied that the president suffered from
any serious health problems.
Images released recently showed him sleeping at several
meetings.
Mugabe is due to hold his 91st birthday bash on Feb. 28 in the
resort town of Victoria Falls.
The opposition in that country had criticised the president for
spending millions of dollars on party while failing to revive the
country's ailing economy.
