Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe named new African Union chairman

90 year old Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe has been named the new Chairman of the African Union. He took over from Mauritania's President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz at a ceremony which held at the Union's secretariat in Addis Abbaba, Ethiopia this morning. Why is this man at this age taking on more responsibility?

    Linda...get it straight. Leadership has nothing almost nothing to do with age. A 7 - year old girl could make a great leader...a 95 year old man could make a great leader. All that matters is that they're in great health& great condition. I personally think that Robert Mugabe is one of the few African leaders today that can really stand for the original vision of the African union.

    Older leaders are not particular only to Africa. Sen. Strom Thurmond of the US served in his position for 48 years. He died at age 100 in 2003, the year that marked his final term in office. The job kept him young.
