ON THE WORLD SCENE - Gene H Hogberg - September 11, 1978

Gene H Hogberg

Years ago the opening of a popular U.S. folk song began: "They're rioting in Africa, there's strife in Iran." I don't recall if the lyrics mentioned Nicaragua, but nevertheless, the song was most prophetic of today's headlines. In Africa, Rhodesia's situation becomes more desperate by the day. About a month ago, Prime Minister Ian Smith held a secret meeting in Zambia with Joshua Nkomo, one of the two guerrilla leaders attempting to wrest control of Rhodesia (or Zimbabwe as it will be called in the future) away from the new black-white interim government. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
