Underneath the raging chaos, a power struggle is on for the control of Africa. Recently released news sources, presented here by our own News Gathering Department, reveal a little known participant in this struggle. Native nationalism is spreading throughout the "dark continent." The match that lit the tinderbox was struck in the Congo, where rival factions today threaten the complete disintegration of the former Belgian colony. Horrible Mau-mau-type uprisings are now even threatening Portugal's ironfisted rule in Angola. The Central African Federation, composed of Northern and Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland, is feeling the brunt of anti-colonial fervor. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
