Mugabe plots to quit without standing trial for crimes
Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe is secretly negotiating immunity from prosecution for crimes committed during his 23-year rule.

According to sources close to both his Zanu-PF party and the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), he has been forced to manoeuvre for a peaceful exit from power by the country's deteriorating economic and humanitarian conditions and intensifying international pressure.

Mugabe, 79, cannot come up with solutions to the hunger and poverty gripping Zimbabwe, and his regime's network of repression is stretched to breaking point - as even his militia cannot get adequate food for their families.

So what's the real story on how he got there and stayed there?
