Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe has been pictured falling down a set of steps after addressing his adoring supporters at an airport.

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 adoring supporters

He had been addressing his adoring supporters on his return from an African Union meeting in Ethiopia, where he became the 54-nation organisation's chairman

However, when you are keeping quite as firm a grasp on power as Mugabe, it doesn't do to show any sign of weakness.

As a result, some press photographers who captured the fall are claiming they were forced to delete their pictures by security personnel.
