HARARE: President Robert Mugabe vowed yesterday to defend his government against Western "bullies", as he opened parliament, a day after the EU slapped targeted sanctions on more of his close associates. Mugabe said parliament was opening at a time of "continued British machinations and the consequences of the drought" in Zimbabwe and the region. Opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) lawmakers boycotted Mugabe's speech. Mugabe said Zimbabwe was constantly under attack from "bullying states" of the world which use their "political and economic prowess to achieve global hegemony". "We are caught up in an era of undiminished unipolarity, with some Western countries unashamedly ganging together and unjustly riding roughshod over small but still sovereign nations," he said. Mugabe also strongly defended his government's right to take possession of white farmers' land. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
