Robert Mugabe has said that he “pities” the Queen – and has also taken shots at US President Barack Obama.
In an interview with the BBC, the President of Zimbabwe discussed his belief that Britain has “lost its values”.
He said: “I pity the one lady I admire, the Queen, that she is in these circumstances, I’m sure down deep she must be groaning at the loss of values in Britain.
“They’ve gone to the dogs. Countries don’t respect Britain any more. Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the world. Which world?”
When questioned about fellow black leader, President Barack Obama, the dictator said: “I see him as a person who has been trying as much as possible to please the white section of America and to avoid any relationship that might be construed as being racist.
“If you can’t deviate then you can’t serve the interests of the blacks who are suffering, who are yearning for justice in America.”
During a speech earlier this month in front of thousands, Mugabe expressed his anger at what he labelled Europe’s “homosexual nonsense.”
“[Europe says] If you pass a law that rejects homosexual marriages we will punish you like they are doing to Uganda and us,” he said at the time. “Let Europe keep their homosexual nonsense there and not cross over with it here.”
