<B>-Australia urges world not bow to Zimbabwe threat.</B> Australia urged the international community not to be intimidated by Zimbabwe?s President Robert Mugabe after he threatened to quit the Commonwealth if membership threatened his African country?s sovereignty. Zimbabwe was suspended from the 54-nation Commonwealth last year after Mugabe was accused of rigging his own re-election. He has not been invited to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Abuja in Nigeria from December 5-8. Australian Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer said the situation in Zimbabwe was deteriorating and Mugabe had done nothing to encourage the group of mainly former British colonies to lift the suspension. ?I hope that the international community will join with Australia and not be intimidated in any way by the taunts or the policies of President Mugabe,? Downer told Parliament.
