Africans debate nonviolence call by Young at UN
At a NAMIBIA and RHODESIA conference in Maputo delegates from over 60 nations applauded U.S. ambassador Andrew Young's vow to pursue nonviolent tactics. Some African leaders praised the speech while Nigeria's Leslie Harriman said it sounded like platitudes. Young urged lessons from U.S. civil rights gains to southern Africa and praised negotiated independence movements. He noted economic links and cautioned Americans were true to their experiences. The speech drew mixed reactions as militants urged more coercive action against white minority regimes.
