...Arab world from Black Africa, This zone of instability, from Chad to the Horn, is a battleground where Arab guerrillas are pitted against black governments, and African rebels against Arab regimes. In a sense, two of the stubbornest rebellions-the civil war in the southern Sudan and the Eritrean uprising in northern Ethiopia-are extensions of the Arab-Israeli conflict to the north. The situation in the Sudan has been further complicated by the Soviet Union's powerful thrust toward the Indian Ocean...

Israel disliked this compromise, but observed it. Last week a Greek freighter fulfilling Hammarskjold's conditions-Israeli cement purchased f.o.b. Haifa by an Eritrean importer-was stopped in Port Said. Hammarskjold's own prestige and assurances were thus at stake. As Hammarskjold set off on a tour of Africa, he scheduled a new stop at Cairo and another session with that fellow Nasser...
