Mugabe is just following African tradition...

"It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have." ~ James Baldwin

"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscienctious stupidity." ~ MLK, Jr.

Mugabe said he intends to challenge African leaders at the African Union summit over their condemnation.

"I would like some leaders who are making these statements to point out at me and we would see if these fingers would be cleaner than mine," Mugabe said this week, according to Zimbabwe's state-run newspaper The Herald. "Some African countries have done worse things."
