RR7823B A SETTLEMENT UNDER FIRE

(5 Jun 1978) RR7823B A SETTLEMENT UNDER FIRE

It is half way through Rhodesia's most important year.
Premier Ian Smith has pledged to hand over power
before December 31st 1978 in the country's first
one-man-one-vote election. Meanwhile, an interim
government comprising Mr. Smith himself and three
moderate black leaders is running Rhodesia, until it
becomes independent Zimbabwe. Their "Internal Settlement"
though is under fire - quite literally - from the
guerrillas of ZANU and ZAPU, the constituent parties
of the Patriotic Front. Mr. Smith's plan is to protect the
rights of the whites and the chance of an orderly
transition, if the guerrillas will let him.
