IRIB: "Mugabe invites Africans to unity"

Iran won't give up its nukes and it's being pretty steadfast about its cheer leading for Mugabe:
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe on Friday urged African countries to continue assisting each other in regional projects so that the continent can become a force to reckon with on a global scale, New Ziana reported.

The world would only recognize Africa when she begins to speak with one voice, Mugabe was quoted as saying at a joint command and staff course graduation ceremony in Harare.

He said a common ground would also see the region contribute immensely to its socio economic growth and defend its sovereignty, which is under constant attack from outside forces.

"When we stand united," he said, "Africa's voice in international affairs can grow into a force that cannot be silenced. We will not only be capable of defending our sovereignty and territorial integrity, but we will also be able to safeguard, promote and support the sound socio economic growth of our peoples."
