Zimbabwe to rethink relations with West

Zimbabwe's president, Robert Mugabe, says his country's six-month old inclusive government isn't getting the international support from Western countries and would soon reconsider its relations with them.

Zimbabwe says it requires about $5 billion US dollars over the next five years to come out of the woods but western countries are demanding tangible political reforms in the country before they will invest the money.

President Mugabe was addressing thousands of mourners at the national shrine today as he interred his long time ally, the country's late vice president Joseph Msika.
