Zimbabwe: 'It sounds like a coup, but it's not'

Zimbabwe's 93-year old president Robert Mugabe has not spoken since the military moved in overnight and seized key points of the capital, Harare. They insist it's not a coup but it sure looks like one. Some might even call it a palace coup since it's supporters of newly ousted vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa versus those close to 52-year old First Lady Grace Mugabe.
