Rhodesia Plan Aims for Black-ruled State by 1978
Washington sources report a British American plan to make Rhodesia an independent black led state by Sept 24 1978 with Ian Smith resigning next summer. The outline calls for ending the UN embargo and a ceasefire while a provisional government takes power. A joint British American presence would operate from Lusaka or Dar es Salaam, engaging black nationalist factions.
