 HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - President Robert Mugabe on Tuesday sharply rejected criticism from a U.S. diplomat who said the policies of Zimbabwe's own government were to blame for its current troubles.
U.S. Ambassador Christopher Dell last week blamed Mugabe's policies, rather than the drought and Western-imposed sanctions and boycotts Zimbabwe officials often cite, for Zimbabwe's 80 percent unemployment, spiraling inflation and escalating humanitarian crisis.
"Mr. Dell, go to hell," state radio quoted Mugabe as saying Tuesday.
