Analysts have described the Zimbabwean military's house arrest of President Robert Mugabe, his wife Grace, and other top state officials as a coup d'état, despite military leaders denying that it has usurped the presidency.
"It is definitely a coup, in the sense that there's been a military intervention in the highest office of the state and state functionaries, such as the public broadcaster have been taken over," says Liesl Louw-Vaudron, analyst for the Institute of Security Studies.
