LAT: Mugabe Plans to Rule Until Age of 100

[NoPasaran]

HARARE, Zimbabwe — A triumphant President Robert Mugabe, whose ruling party won parliamentary elections condemned by Western powers as unfair, declared Saturday that he would stay in power until he was 100.

Flanked by two stuffed lions that looked a bit moth-eaten about the ears, Zimbabwe's 81-year-old president greeted international journalists at a news conference with the words "Are you afraid?"

He warned of serious violence and a tough response if the opposition took to the streets.

After 25 years in power, Mugabe answered a question on retirement plans by mapping out 19 more years at the helm, unless he dies in office.
