...Zambia, President Kenneth Kaunda regularly sends foreign visitors into the northern forest to visit Kafulafuta and Kafubu, twin settlements where 500 Zambian families are living on chicken farms patterned after the Israeli rural cooperatives known as moshavim. With help from a team of nine Israelis, the two cooperatives have reached a point where they now produce 500,000 eggs monthly...

Still, few nations have leaders more dedicated or imaginative than Tanzania's Nyerere, Niger's Hamani Diori and Zambia's Kenneth Kaunda.

He castigated "powerful nations" for forcing developing countries to tender "political and ideological support in return for economic assistance." He wept as he spoke of the disenfranchisement of black majorities in South Africa, Rhodesia and Portugal's African colonies. It was symptomatic of the essential nonalignment of the nonaligned these days, however, that Kaunda's proposal of formal censure of white minority rule in those states was hotly opposed by Swaziland, Lesotho and other countries that depend heavily on trade with South Africa...
