Do the western world even care what this nut job is saying.
Harare - Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe attacked Western countries on Thursday for refusing to lift sanctions because he was still in power, but said his country would get aid from friends who would not impose conditions.
"Everywhere they were saying 'no', they will not remove sanctions. Why, why, because ... they wanted Zanu-pf and Robert Mugabe to be defeated," Mugabe was quoted by state TV telling a meeting of his Zanu-pf party in Harare late on Thursday.

"Sir (Tsvangirai) you have seen them, these that you call your friends. Imperialists can never be friends of those countries and people that desire for freedom."
The 85-year-old leader said Zimbabwe would get aid from friends who would not impose conditions.
He did not name the countries but in the past five years Mugabe has been trying to strengthen ties with Asian countries especially China, and with Muslim nations like Iran, sometimes promising them the country's vast mineral deposits.
"We will get friends who will assist us, friends who will not demand conditions, we have those friends and we will show the West that we also have friends," Mugabe said.
