the army does not necessarily stand for the people of Zimbabwe or true democracy.
Instead, they are only poking their nose in the factional politics of Zanu-PF in order to protect and possibly install in government their preferred Zanu-PF politicians, who are as just as bad as Mugabe's faction.
It is doubtful whether Mnangagwa is a true democrat. He has been Mugabe's tool in his murderous rule from the 1980s, when Gukurahundi was perpetrated on Ndebele Zimbabweans.
This political disruption holds one true promise which a stable and firm tyranny does not: a chance to set Zimbabwe on a true democratic path in order to rebuild its economy.
