Mugabe dismisses foreign demands on media freedom

Don't keep humouring this old fool. Just intensify the sanctions and be done with it.

this oldie is an unrepetant despot, anyway nature is fast catching up with him.

Reading this article just further convinces me that Mugabe is still the same old devious rogue he ever was and that he has absolutely no intention whatsoever of changing. It makes me wonder why Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC party continue trying to be part of this power sharing arrangement when Mugabe has yet to demonstrate even one tiny fraction of a gesture that might signal his good and honourable intent. In fact, so true to character, Mugabe has done just the opposite by blatantly disregarding the conditions of the agreement by appointing additional Ministers and permanent secretaries, continuing to detain activists and embarking upon a fresh campaign to ethnically cleanse the once highly productive commercial farmland of almost all the few remaining whites. SADC's failure to intervene and re-establish some order and sanity makes most observers wonder about their partiality or even whether they might perhaps be complicit in Mugabe's grand plan.

Doesn't give an inch, does - besides, too much would come out if the media were allowed free rein, as they have in any normal country.

"Mugabe said his Western opponents must unconditionally lift sanctions, which he sees as unfair, illegal and racist economic penalties against his party."

That is the biggest joke I have heard for a long time, coming from an unfair, illegal and racist dictator called Mugabe!!!!

As if anyone really thought that Mugabe was suddenly going to change his ways.....

You gotta love how this old man considers aid money from the USA & UK as his entitlement and that it must just be handed over unconditionally.

How can the man who disallowed NGO's, clearly lost the election, have his information minister accuse the British colonialists (and the west) of biological warfare with Cholera. He would be in 'power' for one day only if they had a free press. And he has the gall to ask for money to prop up his illegal regime. African solutions for African problems should include the oil and mineral wealth from Africa, namely Libya, Angola, Sudan to name just a few. Africans complaining non-Africans are the problem and yet themselves doing nothing but line their own pockets, and do nothing for the poor and diseased, problems that do not go away. Unless you muzzle the press and pretend they don't exist.

Mugabe is the best African president in 21st century, fellow Africans let us reason with him and emancipate our self from mental slavery,the white has taken majority of the farm land in Zimbabwe and using the blacks as slave, i say to day point blank that the black man is capable of managing his own affairs the Zimbabwean can manage their own farm well and better than the white. if Dr Kwame Nkrumah were to be alive he will supported Mugabe.LONG LIVE MUGABE LONG LIVE AFRICA
