...performance so far. When Katanga's bulky ex-President returned to the Congo last month, it seemed incredible that he could hope to form a government. Cursed as a tool of Belgium's copper-producing Union Minie´re, accused by some of the murder of Patrice Lumumba, and driven out of the country by the force of United Nations arms, Tshombe appeared to have nothing in his favor...
...each day when the sun sets over the Congo River, Leo is transformed into a ghost town. Adoula also closed his border with the neighboring Brazzaville Congo, where the Peking-backed Congolese National Liberation Committee has its Western headquarters. Formed by politicians loyal to the late Patrice Lumumba and imprisoned Antoine Gizenga, the rebel group is determined to carve up Adoula's tottering nation.

Scores of black local officials have been methodically butchered. Four village policemen were burned alive, and an agricultural-school employee was decapitated...
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. "Babu" would certainly listen...
