Zanzibar's Vice President Kassim Hanga, a Moscow-educated leftist, seemingly approved of the merger, but he can be just as poisonous as Babu, and may yet try to show Nyerere that he has bitten off more than he can chew. As for Babu himself, the two Presidents had carefully waited until he was off on a Far Eastern tour before breaking the news. In Pakistan, Babu was stunned, told newsmen who asked for comment that "I'd better keep my big mouth shut." Then he caught the next jet for home. Fearing that the big mouth might...
...Colonialism. Less obvious but more ominous is the growing isolation of President Abeid Karume. A moder ate, ineffectual leftist, the former merchant seaman proved no match for the wily, anti-Western machinations of Peking-leaning Foreign Minister Abdul Rahman Mohamed, better known as "Babu," and Moscow-trained Vice President Kassim Hanga. Solidly supported by a cadre of younger Marxists, Babu and Hanga now control half of the Revolutionary Council, can usually work their will and twist any issue simply by crying "colonialism." They were able to replace Treasury Secretary Herbert Hawker, a Briton, with an East German Communist "adviser." When...
Nikita Khrushchev had a fine man on hand for the job in Vice President Kassim Hanga, who studied at Moscow's Lumumba University for 21 years. And if Red China's Premier Chou En-lai was interested, he had only to pop over from West Africa and talk with Peking's good friend, Foreign Minister Abdul Rahman Mohamed.

...better known as "Babu" (Swahili for father). Karume, a burly, bull-necked labor leader who leans to Moscow (and therefore may be the group's moderate), became President, while Babu, whose experience in foreign affairs includes a recent trip to Peking, was named Foreign Minister. Vice President is Kassim Hanga, a bitter Zanzibari with a Russian wife, a Moscow education, and a violent hatred of the U.S. Last November, when the Parliament moved to express formal regret over President Kennedy's death, Hanga walked out in protest. Though Strongman Okello bellowed that he was the power behind...
These articles discuss doctrines of Arab Socialism as described in the Egyptian Constitution of 1956, describe in some detail the land reform programs in Iraq before and after Kassim's revolt, and list problems which the Second Turkish Republic has faced in attempting to remedy the abuses for which it executed Menderes. Each of these articles has some merit, but none of them is either well-written or particularly searching in its analysis...
