Nyerere Demands Rhodesia Army Dissolved After Peace Plan
Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere and four Front Line leaders pressed for immediate dissolving of Rhodesia's white led army and removal of Prime Minister Ian Smith after a five hour session with U S envoy Andrew Young and British Foreign Secretary David Owen. The plan proposed black control during a power transfer and faced mixed reactions from African and white factions. Diplomatic sources warned the plan may only call for disbanding parts of Smiths army, while guerrilla leaders oppose disarmament during the transition. Young and Owen met with Mugabe and Nkomo before briefing the Front Line group.
