IRIB: "Australia funding terrorism: Zimbabwe"

Zimbabwe is, of course, the country of "Mugabe, the valiant African figure":
Zimbabwe's government on Thursday accused Canberra of funding terrorist activities in the African nation.

Zimbabwe's Information Minister Sikyaniso Ndlovu said Howard's government was trying to topple Mugabe by funding political violence in Zimbabwe through cash channelled to aid groups and vowed the bid would be thwarted.

"The monies that come to them are to cause violence, terrorist activities," Ndlovu told the Australian broadcasting corporation.

"I've got a list, a long list of their terrorist activities here."

"We will not tolerate violence by the puppets here who are funded by the Australian government," he said.
