Zambia Quiet On Tanzania
(N.Z.P.A. Reuter—Copyright)
LUSAKA, Dec. 25.
Zambia has not asked Tanzania to lift its ban on British military staff running the oil airlift between the two countries, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in Lusaka yesterday.
Asked whether any representations would be made, the spokesman said: “Not that I know of.” The airlift follows Britain’s oil embargo on Rhndesia and Rhodesia’s counter-suspension of supplies to Zambia.
The Tanzanian Government announced that it would not allow British military staff and equipment into the country to assist in the oil airlift.
It said the character of the operation must be completely civil and not military. Zambians continued to adjust to the new situation caused by petrol rationing which came into force on Thursday. The Rhodesian Prime Minister, Mr lan Smith, said last night that petrol rationing would have to be introduced in Rhodesia, but he has not yet decided on a date for its implementation. The Registrar of Insurance announced in Salisbury today that since Lloyd’s of London
could no longer meet its obligations in Rhodesia he had no alternative but to cancel its registration.
