We of Africa protest that, in this day and age, we should continue to be treated as lesser human beings than other races.

We expected anyway that the democratic forces which have agreed with us in Zimbabwe would have rallied behind us. But it was a difficult struggle.

Our party must continue to strike fear in the heart of the white man, our real enemy!

In most recent times, as the West started being hostile to us, we deliberately declared a Look East policy.

The anti-imperialist, forces in the country [Zimbabwe] here, I think are not that strong. The capitalist forces, the reactionary forces are far more formidable, far better organised. But we would have wanted to hear the voice of the anti-imperialist forces, those who espouse the cause of freedom, the cause of independence, everywhere.

Even some of our friends, not only here, but in the international community, in Africa as well, were beginning to show weakness and their weakness, did not lend support to us and we found ourselves weak negotiators at various stages.

We are not hungry... Why foist this food upon us? We don't want to be choked. We have enough.
