...judging the cold war, pushed their own pet projects. The Congo's Vice Premier Antoine Gizenga. arriving late with Premier Adoula, claimed the floor in violation of the rule that only heads of delegations could speak, used it to subtly pump up his own prestige as Patrice Lumumba's spiritual heir. Equally busy was the F.L.N.'s new Premier Benyoussef Benkhedda, who succeeded in persuading Afghanistan, Cambodia. Ghana and Yugoslavia to extend formal recognition to his provisional Algerian government...
...Communist-lining Antoine Gizen-ga. Three weeks ago. Gizenga accepted the post of Vice Premier in the central government of Cyrille Adoula. But he seemed to have changed his mind. He refused to go to Leopoldville to take up his job. Instead, he formed a new National Patrice Lumumba Party and began orating against the U.N. ("hostile to the Congo").

...electrified barbed-wire fence, patrols of police dogs and Indian machine gunners of the U.N. force, the legislators made a forlorn stab at statesmanship. That it failed was largely the fault of two bedridden absentees: Red lining Antoine Gizenga, boss of Eastern province and heir apparent of Lumumba, and round-faced Moise Tshombe, President of the separatist state of Katanga...
...Gizenga discreetly remained in bed with a case of diplomatic "bronchitis." To help him assess his victory in the parliamentary elections, he had on hand a recently arrived delegation of Russian and Czech advisers. Remembering the botch they made of their effort to take over the Congo with Patrice Lumumba, the Communists this time may urge Gizenga to let President Kasavubu name one of his own men as Premier-on the theory that whoever he picks is bound to fail...
