The Zimbabwean president offered a rare olive branch to the west today, with a call for "fresh, friendly and co-operative relations" with former enemies.
Robert Mugabe, subject to targeted sanctions by America and the EU, made the unusually conciliatory remarks in a speech at the opening of Zimbabwe's parliament.
