Zimbabwe Tells Mugabe Critics to 'Go Hang'

Robert Mugabe's spokesman angrily dismissed the possibility of a national unity government today, reports the Guardian, telling the US and other nations supporting the opposition to "go hang." Speaking at the African Union summit, the spokesman told reporters that no other country could interfere in Zimbabwean affairs, and equated British criticisms of Mugabe to colonialism. The African Union holds a special session on Zimbabwe later today.
