General Nguyen Chanh Thi, commander of the northernmost I Corps, was proclaimed chief of the capital's "liberation forces." For the moment, the winners seemed to be Thi, Ky and IV Corps Commander General Nguyen Van Thieu...

Though the Chinese expulsion was defined as "momentary," and Peking may very well return to the sunny shores of Bujumbura, the Mwami clearly had learned a lesson of sorts...
