...last thing Britain wants is troops from other nations on Central African soil. Yet one of Africa's elder statesmen, Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya, was also working up to a similar demand. Kenyatta petitioned the U.N. Security Council to declare embargoes on Rhodesia under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter, which would most likely require a U.N. force to police them.

Rhodesia's 220,000), many of whom owned vast tracts in the "white highlands" northwest of Nairobi.

In unmistakably tart tones an official Kenya government communiqué declared: "It is not clear to the Kenya government what type or form of revolution the Chinese Prime Minister has in mind. But the Kenya government wishes it to be known that Kenya intends to avert all revolutions irrespective of their origins or whether they come from inside or are influenced from outside...
