...dangers she would bring upon herself probably make South Africa shy away from giving such full support to Smith's Rebellion. Her international position rests on her legality; this would be compromised by entanglement with an illegal regime in Rhodesia. Furthermore, aid to Rhodesia could be used by South Africa's many enemies to build up pressure for international action against...
...with the rebellion finally quelled and Tshombe forced out of office last month, President Joseph Kasavubu figured it was time to bring his neighborly relations back to normal. His first step came at the African "summit" meeting at Accra, where he neatly buried the hatchet with such neighbors as Tanzania and the Sudan, which had also supported the rebels.

Died.

To take his place, Kasavubu named 39-year-old Evariste Kimba, a onetime railroad worker who was Tshombe's Foreign Minister during the Katanga rebellion and accompanied him into exile in Europe. Kimba's first steps as Premier were encouraging. "To the Congolese people and to the foreigners in our country," he announced, "we guarantee peace and security." Then he invited Tshombe, who still commands the biggest voting bloc in Parliament, to take...
