UNITED NATIONS, Sept 18: Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe on Sunday accused the United States of deliberately neglecting homeless black victims of Hurricane Katrina while condemning him for demolishing urban slums.
Mugabe also told the UN General Assembly that former colonial ruler Britain, which inspired European diplomatic sanctions against Zimbabwe, was equally as hypocritical by participating in an “illegal” and “devastating” invasion of Iraq.
“These imperialist countries have unashamedly abused the power of the media by hypocritically portraying themselves as philanthropists and international saviours of victims of various calamities,” Mugabe said.
