Zimbabwe: Mugabe hits out at west

Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has called for unity in the nation's power sharing government, while criticizing the West for putting conditions on aid to his troubled nation.

Speaking Saturday at a state funeral, Mr. Mugabe called on members of the unity government to speak with one voice and show they are truly united.

Mugabe lashed out at western nations that have balked at offering more aid to Zimbabwe without further political reforms. He said Zimbabwe should not humiliate itself any further and only go to those friends who are prepared to work with them on equal terms.
