Harare: Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe on Friday warned neighbouring African nations to "think twice" about provoking his government, which has been condemned for holding a one-candidate presidential election.

"If there are some who may want to fight us, they should think twice," Mugabe, the winner of a run-off election boycotted by the opposition, said after returning home from an African Union summit.

"We don't intend to fight any neighbours. We are a peaceful country, but if there is a country, a neighbouring country that is itching for a fight, ah, then let them try it."
