...took only a week in office to show that Fidel Castro, the Prime Minister, was little different from Fidel Castro, the talkative, disorganized rebel.

In the north, the same anticolonial stir-ups agitated the Arabs, and TIME showed the faces of King Mohammed V of Morocco, which won its independence in 1956, and of Ferhat Abbas, head of Algeria's rebel government-in-exile, whose story is not yet finished. Now comes young, vigorous Sékou Touré of Guinea, the man who said "No" to De Gaulle and who has become one of the most powerful figures in the reversed "scramble for Africa"- that of the Africans themselves...
