HARARE - President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe has given notice that the West and its economies will be targets rather than allies during his chairmanship of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) over the next 12 months.
Mr Mugabe repudiated both the dominant Western view of democracy and its market economics. In his tone-setting inaugural address as chairman of the 53-nation body, Mr Mugabe said on Monday that Africa should not be herded into inappropriate forms of democracy.
