'NATO has now become a terrorist organisation similar to the Taliban': Mugabe

President Robert Mugabe has criticised NATO for invading Libya under the pretence of protecting civilians and has instead killed innocent people and children.

Mugabe said this while addressing thousands of people at the National Heroes Acre on Monday.

"NATO has now become a terrorist organisation similar to the Taliban that the western countries have been condemning," said the President.

He said unity can only thrive in a peaceful environment and appealed to political parties to carry out their primary elections peacefully.
