...east, and their joint contempt for the Moslems in the north, is a major obstacle to peaceful nationhood. Kenya's warlike Masai dread the thought of national power in the hands of the clever Kikuyu; and for the majestic (6 ft. 6 in.) but backward Watutsi of Ruanda-Urundi, education and all the talk of one-manone-vote sounds suspiciously like the death knell for four centuries of unchal lenged supremacy over the fast-rising politically conscious Bahutu, who have long been virtual serfs...
