HELP FOR AFRICA
Soldiers Now Unwelcome (N.Z.P.A .-Reuter—Copyright) DAR-ES-SALAAM, Feb. 13. The Organisation of African Unity yesterday set up a committee to consider replacing British troops in Tanganyika with Africans. All delegates accepted in principle President Nyerere’s proposal earlier in the conference that the British should be replaced. President Nyerere told the emergency meeting that their presence could be exploited too easily by those who wished to divide Africa. The presence of troops from a country involved in the “cold war” had serious implications for non-alignment, he said.
His first instinct had been to seek help from the common services organisation linking Tanganyika with Kenya and Uganda, but the “chain reaction” of mutinies had already spread there. He said there was no evidence whatsoever that the mutiny in Tanganyika had been inspired by outside forces. Communist or imperialist, or that it was the spearhead of “popular revolt.”
