Forces to Resist Ethiopian Rebels
London AP reports Ethiopian rebel clashes as Haile Selassie races from Brazil toward Addis Ababa to rally loyalists. Battles erupt in Addis Ababa and Asmara amid claims of loyalist forces massing outside the capital and a crown prince leadership dispute. Royalist and rebel factions accuse each other of treason while international observers note limited Communist involvement. The Ethiopian bodyguard unit, about 5,000 strong, reportedly engineered the coup and remains a key power center.
