The U.S. Embassy in Zimbabwe said the at the time that the resignation of Mugabe"marks an historic moment" for the country and congratulated all Zimbabweans who raised their voices. He became prime minister after the end of white minority rule in 1980 in the country, which was previously known as Rhodesia, Reuters reported.
