What Smith is seeking is an "internal settlement"-a deal between whites and moderate blacks that pointedly excludes the Patriotic Front of Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo, which for five years has been waging guerrilla war against the Smith regime from its bases in Mozambique and Zambia. Smith's latest announcement apparently means that he has made some kind of deal with the leading black moderates, Bishop Abel Muzorewa and the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole. Both had previously insisted that there could be no negotiations until Smith accepted one-man, one-vote rule. Although he may, of course, attach...
West Germany and France would also suffer a serious, if lesser, loss of trade. But dozens of smaller countries closer to South Africa would also be affected. Gabon, for instance, buys meat from South Africa; Zambia buys everything from mining equipment to canned goods. Alternative markets are distant-and thus more expensive. At least four U.N. members -Lesotho, Botswana, Swaziland and Mozambique-are heavily dependent on neighboring South Africa not only for trade but for communication...

The picture the authors paint of the human toll...
During an earlier stop in Lusaka, Zambia, Owen and Young discussed the plan with Patriotic Front Leaders Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe. In Pretoria, they underwent what one observer described as a six-hour "interrogation" by South African Prime Minister John Vorster. The proposal that most troubled Vorster: the disbanding of the Rhodesian army and establishment of a U.N. peace-keeping force. Vorster declared: "The Rhodesian question is a matter for whites and blacks in Rhodesia to solve"-apparently meaning that as far as Vorster is concerned, Smith is free to pursue his own kind of settlement and that South...
