Congo Crisis Deepens Diplomatic Push For Stabilization
Leopoldville cables report diplomats liken Congo’s struggle to killing a hydra as new Parliament looms and rebel factions threaten to seek exile in neighboring states. Prime Minister Tshombe vows administrative reform and centralization while mercenary forces press for decisive action, with 1965 seen as pivotal for the republic’s fate. The conflict, now a national and regional concern, has devastated about a fifth of the land and crippled governance.
