Zimbabwe's 92-year-old President Robert Mugabe has arrived home after an overseas absence that led to concerns over a health crisis, with witnesses saying he joked about the latest rumors of his death. The world's oldest head of state returned to the capital, Harare, on Saturday morning after leaving a regional summit early on Tuesday. His spokesman had denied reports that Mugabe, the target of near-daily protests in recent weeks, was ill. His absence had raised the level of uncertainly in this southern African country already in economic and political turmoil. Mugabe has been in power since 1980, and many in Zimbabwe have known no other leader in their lifetime.
