Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe, 90,
fell down steps from a podium after
speaking to supporters upon his return
from Ethiopia, say witnesses.
According to AP,Mugabe appeared to
miss a step and toppled when he left
the raised lectern at the airport
Wednesday afternoon, according to
several witnesses, who insisted on
anonymity because of security
concerns.
His aides quickly helped him up and
escorted him to his limousine which
sped away, they said.
"He addressed supporters who
welcomed him ... He missed a step
as he walked down from the
podium and immediately fell
down," said a witness.
Some press photographers who
captured the fall said they were forced
to delete their pictures by security
personnel
