HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe turned 91-years-old on Saturday showing no sign of giving up power as the West slowly eases pressure on a man who has been an international pariah for the last decade.

Mugabe, one of the Africa's most divisive figures, is the only leader that Zimbabwe has known since independence from Britain in 1980.
