SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt —
President Robert Mugabe's spokesman is dismissing Western criticism of Zimbabwe's widely disputed elections.

George Charamba told reporters at the African Union summit in Egypt on Tuesday that the United States, Britain and other European countries can "go hang" because they have no basis to condemn Mugabe.

Mugabe is under intense international criticism for winning a runoff in which he was the sole candidate. Many Western countries have called the runoff a sham, and the U.S. is pushing for additional sanctions and an arms embargo against Zimbabwe.

But African leaders have been hesitant to publicly criticize Mugabe. Instead, some are gently urging Mubage to accept a power-sharing agreement with the opposition.
