Angry Mugabe threatens to expel US Ambassador

From The TimesMay 26, 2008

Jan Raath in Harare
President Mugabe threatened to expel the US Ambassador yesterday after accusing him of interfering in domestic politics and promised to give land to Zimbabweans fleeing xenophobic violence in South Africa.

“I am just waiting to see if he makes one more step wrong. He will get out,” Mr Mugabe told a rally as he stepped up campaigning for a second-round run-off in presidential elections. “As tall as he is, if he continues to do that I will kick him out of the country.”

Mr Mugabe accused James McGee of meddling after the US Ambassador publicly called on Morgan Tsvangirai, the opposition leader, to return home to contest the run-off on June 27.

The President also made the offer of land to thousands of Zimbabweans fleeing violence in South African townships that has killed 50 foreign nationals and displaced tens of thousands more. “We have land for our people in South Africa who may want to return home,” he said.
