Progress Reports. In the meantime, Kissinger moved quickly to keep black African leaders informed. At Lusaka he saw Kenneth Kaunda, then Julius Nyerere in Dar es Salaam. A week earlier, the Tanzanian had been distinctly pessimistic about the Kissinger mission, at least in public. This time Nyerere was in a buoyant mood, speaking with far greater candor about the substance of the proposals put to Smith than anyone else had done all week. Next, Kissinger flew to Kinshasa to brief Zaïre's flamboyant President Mobutu Sese Seko, then on to Nairobi to see Kenya's venerable...

Tanzania's President Julius Nyerere had announced that he was not "particularly encouraged" by Kissinger's mission.

At last week's annual summit meeting of the Organization of African Unity, where Amin's one-year term as chairman ended, Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda pointedly refused to shake his hand. Several days later, a Kenyan government statement probably best summed it up, with some exaggeration, when it pitied "the peace-loving people of Uganda" for living under "the world's greatest dictator...
