...from Algeria and Cairo to Khartoum airport for transshipment to the southern Sudanese town of Juba aboard smaller aircraft. Most of the turboprops bear Algerian markings but are flown by Russian pilots. The large part of the equipment was supplied by Ben Bella and Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, but Russia apparently has promised to replace all weapons they send to the Simbas...
Returning to Leopoldville from a quick inspection tour of rebel-razed Stanleyville last week, Tshombe issued an open challenge to the leading rebel supporters-including Nasser, Ben Bella and Nkrumah-to go to Stanleyville and see the results of their aid. "Come and hear the stories of massacres and torture," urged the Congolese Premier. "Come and take note of the elimination of educated people." By week's end the invitation had no takers...

When Al Badr turned conservative in 1962 under Republican attack, the Soviets reversed themselves to back the opposition headed by Abdullah Sallal, built him an airport and 150 low-cost houses, promised $72 million more in various projects.
