Ghana and Swedish Troops Battle Katangans Near Kamina
Reports from Leopoldville say a Swedish battalion and a Ghanaian company fought near Kamina in the Congo as the United Nations claimed control of the town despite Katangan resistance. Ghanaian forces seized a rail and road junction 14 miles away while Swedes reportedly advanced 10 miles of track east. The UN ordered Katangan pilots to surrender by Tuesday noon or face destruction. Swedish jets had nearly wiped out the Katanga air force. Moise Tshombe vowed to continue the fight as he returned from Southern Rhodesia, insisting Katanga would not submit to Congo’s central government.
