...Contrails. Fact was, according to intelligence reports, that some shipments of Soviet arms and equipment had already arrived at the Stanleyville headquarters from which Antoine Gizenga's forces now controlled large sections of the Congo's vast interior. The route, apparently, was via Cairo and Gamal Abdel Nasser's high flying four-engined Ilyushins; Britain had received assurances from the Sudan that it would continue to forbid overland transit, but there was little the Sudanese could do about those mysterious south bound contrails occasionally spotted at 30,000 feet and higher...

...flirtation with the Communists, who are eagerly pouring money and munitions into the Algerian war. It could also be a step toward Bourguiba's long-cherished but unlikely dream of a federation of the North African nations-Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Morocco-that would be a counterweight to Nasser's U.A.R...
