Harare, 5 Feb - (ANA) - Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe has been pictured falling down a set of steps after addressing supporters in Harare. The 90-year-old President - who has held the position since 1987 - took a tumble as he walked down some steps from a podium where he had been addressing his supporters. He had been talking to the crowd at Harare International Airport, who had gathered to welcome him back from a trip to Ethiopia - where he had been elected chairman of the 54-state African Nation. He claimed 'no African country' had opposed Zimbabwe's elevation to lead the organisation.  Photographers who caught the accident claim they were asked to delete their pictures by security personnel. Mugabe, who celebrates his 91st birthday on February 21, has been accused of using widespread violence to win several disputed elections, according to human rights groups. The country suffered hyperinflation until it abandoned its currency for the US dollar in 2009. However, Mugabe - who, along with his wife Grace, is on the EU blacklist - still has time to take annual vacations every January to Asia, including Singapore where he has visited specialists for check-ups on his eyes, according to Zimbabwean officials.
