UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday called on all sides in Zimbabwe to show “restraint” after the country’s military took control and President Robert Mugabe said he was under house arrest.

Guterres is monitoring the situation and “appeals for calm, non-violence and restraint,” said UN spokesperson Farhan Haq.

Guterres “stresses the importance of resolving political differences through peaceful means and dialogue, and in line with the country’s constitution,” he added.
