Mail & Guardian Online: "Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe launched a new attack on Britain on Friday after it failed to prevent him being invited to a European Union summit next month, telling London to stop interfering in its former colony. In a speech to thousands of die-hard supporters in the capital, Harare, the 83-year-old Mugabe also thanked fellow African heads of state for their diplomatic support in what he called an 'onslaught' by Britain and its allies. 'Zimbabwe is an African country. We are totally independent from Britain. Let Britain there listen to this simple lesson that Zimbabwe is no longer a British colony,' Mugabe told several thousand veterans of the liberation war in the 1970s when Zimbabwe was known as Rhodesia."
