Mugabe labels U.S. diplomat a 'prostitute.'

From CNN:


(CNN) -- Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has warned against outside influences in next month's upcoming run-off election, likening one American diplomat to a "prostitute" and threatening to oust another from his country.

"Zimbabwe cannot be British, it cannot be American. Yes, it is African," said Mugabe, whose speech Sunday were quoted Monday in The Herald, the state-newspaper.

"You saw the joy that the British had, that the Americans had, and saw them here through their representatives celebrating and acting as if we Zimbabwe are either an extension of Britain or ... America. You saw that little American girl [U. S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Jendayi Frazer] trotting around the globe like a prostitute..."

Mugabe went on to say that U.S. Ambassador to Zimbabwe James McGee would be expelled from the country if he "persisted in meddling in Zimbabwe's electoral process," the newspaper reported.

The fallout from Zimbabwe's stalled election has brought international criticism with Frazer taking the most emphatic stance. In April, Frazer accused Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe for nearly three decades, of "trying to steal the election" and "intimidating the population and election officials as well."
