Nigeria, the most stable former colony south of the Sahara, and the Brazzaville group of twelve former French territories are especially suspicious of Red intentions. The Congo, once Moscow's sharpest spearhead in Africa, may be inching toward stability even though Communist embassies are reappearing in Leopoldville...
