President Julius Nyerere, 54, is the leader of the front-line-five chiefs, occupying the swing position between the moderates and the militants. Tanzania's capital, Dar es Salaam, is headquarters of the Organization of African Unity committee charged with planning confrontation strategy with white regimes, as well as a port for guerrilla supplies from the Soviet Union and China. Five thousand Rhodesian insurgents are training in Tanzanian camps...
Progress Reports. In the meantime, Kissinger moved quickly to keep black African leaders informed. At Lusaka he saw Kenneth Kaunda, then Julius Nyerere in Dar es Salaam. A week earlier, the Tanzanian had been distinctly pessimistic about the Kissinger mission, at least in public. This time Nyerere was in a buoyant mood, speaking with far greater candor about the substance of the proposals put to Smith than anyone else had done all week. Next, Kissinger flew to Kinshasa to brief Zaïre's flamboyant President Mobutu Sese Seko, then on to Nairobi to see Kenya's venerable...
Kissinger's shuttle got off to an inauspicious beginning last week when he landed at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. On arrival, he found the Tanzanian government less receptive to his mission than he had hoped. Student demonstrators, obviously acting with government acquiescence, greeted the Secretary with signs branding him a "cynical murderer."

But at the very least, Nyerere remarked, the mission would clarify U.S. views on southern Africa. In that sense, he added, "a shuttle...
While Vorster and Kissinger were talking in Zurich, five African presidents met in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, at the behest of President Julius Nyerere. The African leaders tried hard to bring about a reconciliation among the three principal Rhodesian liberation movements, which have long been feuding, but failed once again. In truth, the disunity among Rhodesian blacks is almost as big an impediment to majority rule as Ian Smith's intransigence. In the end the five presidents could only agree that the guerrilla war should be "intensified," but, on the other hand, they had no objection to a Kissinger...
Kissinger, who did not hear about the Dar es Salaam meeting until the night before he left for Zurich, was worried that the African leaders would reject his negotiating offer before he had a chance to discuss it with them. Later he told newsmen that he had been invited to visit Dar es Salaam on his forthcoming shuttle. A Tanzanian spokesman put it somewhat differently: "He asked to come, and we said, 'All right, come along.' " Despite his minor gaffe, Kissinger will obviously be welcome in Tanzania, as well as Zambia, the most important stops on his current...
