March 17, 2002, 9:23PM - Mugabe sworn in, blasts West- Associated Press
[Full Textt] HARARE, Zimbabwe -- President Robert Mugabe was sworn in for another six-year term Sunday and urged fellow Zimbabweans to join his fight against Western imperialism.
Mugabe won the March 9-11 election against challenger Morgan Tsvangirai, leader of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, who posed the most significant threat to Mugabe's 22 years of autocratic rule. Many observers said the election was rigged.
Mugabe said Britain, Zimbabwe's former colonial power, and its "white allies" in the West were critical of the poll because Tsvangirai, their favored candidate, lost.
"But it is our people who decide, who must say so, not you, sirs, and not one person in 10 Downing Street," the official residence of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Mugabe said.
"Thanks to the people of Zimbabwe for loudly saying: Never again shall Zimbabwe be a colony. I thank them for their resolute anti-imperialist stand."
Mugabe won the election with a disputed 56 percent of votes cast to Tsvangirai's 42 percent. [End]
