Across Middle Africa

Anyone who looked at events In Africa this
past week could see that across the broad band of
middle Africa, shifts and political changes were
under way from Leopoldville to Mombasa and
from Stanleyville to Salisbury, which could pro-
vide the map maker with dozen alterations on
the African continental map.
How, for example, should he draw the map Of
the Congo, now nearing the end of its FIRST
troubled year of independence from Belgium?
Should If be depicted as one united state, fed
Grafton of six provinces, or confederation of l3
or more states each claiming local autonomy?
What of Angola? Should this be painted in
Portuguese colors on the African map, should

'Crievous Stage Passed?

All this prompted United Nations Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold to remark in New
York this past week that he thought "the grievous
stage in the Congo had passed.
Then again the United Nations is having some
success in its campaign to bring rebellious Ka-
tanga Province to heel. Without PRESIDENT
Tshombe at its head, Katanga has been cooperat-
ing with the United Nations, and Belgium's new
government, too, has been cooperating with the

Angola Upheaval

Meanwhile If there has been an apparent and
welcome abatement of violence in the Congo the
neighboring Portuguese territory of Angola has
become the scene of the most violent upheaval
south of the Sahara
There African rebels are locked in guerrilla
warfare with the Portuguese who have sped
many thousands of paratroops and other rein
forcements 10 their province" which is in fact
a colony

which they hope will deal the African rebels
knockout blow before November when the heavi-
est rains begin and when the battered old World
War II German Dorniers and other aircraft which
the Portuguese are using to strafe the rebels will
become begged down and unusuable.
However the rebels have plenty of fight still,
and their leader Holden Roberto from his head
quarters in Leopoldvie expresses considerable
confidence in their prospects The rebels are
ranging almost at will across northern Angola
tying down tiny Portuguese settlements con-
nected by poor dirt roads which the rebels fire.
quenty cut and blockade. This is ideal terrain
for warfare waged by enthusiastically forested
with bush and grasslands.
Tracks bordered by high grass which lends
itself to concealment of ambushing rebels
Estimates of the rebel strength range around the
$4,000 to 10000 men actually under arms. Rebel
bands work in groups between 40 and 60 strong
but on occasion have mounted single attack with
strength of 5000. The Portuguese are thought to
have about $4,000 troops in Angola, some of them
crack paratroops but others are green recruits of
questionable ability

Changing Africa
On the Move

Staff Correspondent OF The Christian Science Monitor

United Nations in the recall Of specific Belgians In
the Congo.
Then there are rumors that the Congolese
Parliament may soon sit again, reduced in num-
bers though it is by the death and murder of
various of its members in the Congo's first year
of independence. And there is even some talk of
Mr. Tshombe's being released to serve as minister
in Kasavubu- appointed cabinet.
However, even Mr.. Hammarskjold said, 1.-THE
unexpected is always possible" and that dry little
phrase might well be written for the moment be-
meath whatever seal or insignia the various gov
ernments of the Congo are using.
Though Mr.. Kasavubus cooperation with the
United Nations apparently indicates maturing
political consciousness, he could still run into
trouble with dissent among his supporters. And
over all there looms the question of the Gizenqa
regime aloof in Stanleyville still pledging
allegiance to slain Patrice Lumhmba and claim
ing to be the Congo's legitimate government.

In British Africa-Kenya and the Rhodesian
Federation-British policy is undergoing buffeting
after relatively smooth fight for some previous
months. In the face of hints that Britain might not
be planning independence for its east African
colony of Kenya early as African nationalist
had anticipated there have been angry scenes
and demonstrations by Africans. The two princi-
pal African political parties7-Ronald Ngala's
organization, which is cooperating with the gov
ernment and Tom Mboyas group, which although
stronger is in opposition and labelling the Ggala
followers government stooges-are vying with
each other in demands for self-government.
The Mboya group, however, is going further
still with call for immediate independence In
the background there reports of resurgence
of oath taking on Mau Mau style lines.
Finally in the Rhodesias, scene of Africas most
magnificent natural marvel the Victoria Falls,
events appear riding to climax which will de-
eide the shape of the Rhodesian Federation.
In Northern Rhodesia, reports that Britain may
water down new constitutional proposals in favor
OF the small white-settler community have
spurred the principal African nationalist leader,
Kenneth Kaunda, to an explosive outburSt that
Africans have lost confidence in Britain.
In Southern Rhodesia, Afrcans-no less
thusiastlc about new constitutional proposals
there-are awaiting the outcome next month of
a nationwide referendum principally among
whites, which will decide Southern Rhodesia's
future
In the meantime Africans have launched an
Amerlcan-style sit-ln campaign to attempt to
crack the color bar in Southern Rhodesian
churches, movie houses restaurants, and hotels
Pity, pity indeed, the poor African map maker.
