What was going on? Had Kissinger misled one side or the other? Had Zambia's President Kenneth Kaunda and Tanzania's President Julius Nyerere, to whom Kissinger had explained the formula, changed their minds?

He is a friend of Zambia's Kenneth Kaunda, Tanzania's Julius Nyerere and Botswana's Seretse Khama, and he is at least on speaking terms with the front-line five's two Marxist firebrands, Samora Machel of Mozambique and Agostinho Neto of Angola.
