...discriminated against. Kapwepwe obviously hoped that his well-publicized resignation would pave the way for an eventual return to power-perhaps to Kaunda's office-by popular acclaim. The 47-year-old tribal leader is admired by many thousands of Zambians, many of whom still wear the collarless Nehru-style "freedom shirts" that Kapwepwe wore as a "general" in the revolution...

Patil's professed aim is to "polarize" the catchall Congress Party. "If fellow travelers and Communists are in the majority in the party, then the rest of us must walk out," he says.
