Default Mugabe loses his cool

Sponsor's Message
The man's obviously under pressure. In the video Mugabe shouts, "You bloody idiots!" at the broadcaster's correspondent Julian Manyon, and at the British in general. He was asked on what basis he considered himself president of Zimbabwe.

One of his bodyguard's then reportedly roughed up Manyon, while others held back Mugabe himself. "We are not a British colony," Mugabe said repeatedly and dismissed Manyon's questions as "stupid".

According to ITV Egyptian security has responded to the incident by imposing more restrictions on journalists covering the African Union summit in Sharm el-Sheikh. They would, wouldn't they?

According to observers the incident underlines that Mugabe is weakened, but he still won't back down.

What to make of the encounter?

Robert actually retain his cool. I hope this is clear now.
