Africa.
Ghana, during its fifth year Of
independence, was hit by a series
of bombings, one of which serious
ly menaced the life Of President
Kwame Nkrumah. Other bombings
took place near Flagstaff House,
the presidential palace. Only the
August bombing at Kilingugu,
about 500 miles from Accra, was
officially labeled by the Ghanaian
government as an attack on Nkru-
mah's life. The Ghanaian president
was not injured in the incident
Later, three government officials
were arrested as participants in an
alleged plot to overthrow the gov
ernment.
AS an outgrowth OF the Coker
Commission Of Inquiry into alleged
misuse of funds by officials of the
Western Nigeria Development
corporation and political unrest In
the Western Region, the Nigerian
government charged that several
members of the Action Group
Party, led by Chief Obafemi Awol-
owo, had plotted to overthrow the
government Of Prime Minister Sir
Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. Earlier,
Chief Samuel L. Akintola, former
premier of the Western Region and
a top aide of Awolowo, was ousted
from his government post and as
deputy Action Group party leader,
marking the end of bitter feuding
between the two amid charges Of
intra-party rivalry.
Awolowo, now facing treason
charges with "a others, was ac-
cused by prosecution witnesses Of
trying to enlist support from
Ghana in the alleged overthrow.
The charge brought official pro-
tests and a denial from the Ghana
government. In later developments,
Sir Abubakar announced that the
government had withdrawn recog-
milton of Awolowo as leader of the

in a position to help the speedy
realization of the political unifica-
ton of Africa"
Noting that Tshombe, by his ac-
tions has made a unnecessary
struggle against the territorial in
tegrity of the Congo seem like a
legitimate struggle for independ-
.ence, Nkrumah added, "All you
have been doing, in fact, is to
make use of the assistance of
powerful financial interests who
are covetous of Africa's wealth in
order to throw the new Congo Re-
public into jeopardy and confu-
sion. If you continue to resist the
unity of the Congo, you will really
be holding back the progress and
unity, not only of that country,
but of Africa as a whole"
He asked the Katanga leader,
What do you get from fighting
to secure the secession of Kat
anga?"
He pointed out that "the Congo
is the very heart of Africa. It's
success or failure is therefore a
matter of vital concern to us all.
1t is because of this and of the
fact that Africa needs strong uni
tary governments, capable of ex-
ercising central authority for the
total mobilization of the national
effort, that we are opposed to the
idea of establishing a federal con-
stitution in the Congo.
1--WE should therefore endeavor
to work together now, not only to
correct the mistakes of the past
but to secure the political unifica-
ton of Africa in which the rights
and interests of any particular
group or territory would be the
interest and concern of us all.
'The object Of this letter is
therefore to advise you not to seek
refuge in the financial interest of
foreign powers, or in the use of
military arms and equipment, but
rather to join hands with the Cent
raj government of the Congo and
use whatever powers you may
have to straighten the unity of the
Congo. Because it is unity that will
save the Congo Republic, includ-
ing Katanga. Don't forget that
the unity of Africa is the only
bastion of safety and survival for
all of us in Africa"

stated that he hadn't had chance
to think too much about it yet.
However he did state that he in
tended to call the new executive
board together as soon as possible
and agree on a tentative program
for the year. Il am sure that our
program will be basically in Keep

Noise Tshombe of Katanga has
never intended to reach any agree
ment on ending secession. On the
heels of the issuance of the white
paper. Tshombe dispatched cable
to President Kwame Nkrumah Of
Ghana, charging that the UN, in
fuenced by the United States, 'is
preparing third war in Katanga
with a view to exterminating the
black people in this region of
Africa.
He ascribed the real motive be-
hind the unification of the Congo
to be "the hidden desire of the
us. to plunder the riches of Kat
anga and to paralyze the economic
life of Africa"
However, President Nkrumah, in
his reply to Tshombe clearly re-
jected the charge and denounced
Tshombe's effort to seek Pan-Afrt-
can support and recognition of his
secessionist government.
Said Nkrumah: II must deplore
the fact that you should make
such accusations against a foreign
power which you do not appear to
have taken the trouble to sub
stantiate . must make it clear
at the outset that I am not address
sing you as a head of state or of
a government, for I do not recog-
nize you in either capacity. I am
addressing you as a fellow African
who has, I believe, been led into
very great errors by unscrupulous
external interests.
IT write to you in the hope that
it may not be too late to appeal to
the element of African patriotism,
which I am sure must still slumber
in you, and to invite you to use
whatever degree of freedom of
action that still remains to you
for the good Of the Congo and
Africa.
you will remember from the
various appeals I have made to
you personally that I have always
invited attention to the risk of
sell-out in Africa, if we do not
seek political unity among our
selves as a primary concern. The
whole object Of my stand in the
unfortunate Congo situation is to
ensure that a strong and United
