Tour Zambia Home Page The nationalist movement was given impetus in the early 1950’s when the Colonial Office agreed to have Northern Rhodesia joined in a federation with Nyasaland (Malawi), a British ‘protectorate’, and Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). Zambia is one of the most stable and strife free countries in Africa. In the '90's there was been a cooling in relations with the donors amid negative perceptions of constitutional tinkering ahead of the November 1996 elections. www.tourzambia.com /zambia/politics.htm   (672 words)

cars - User talk:El C/Southern Rhodesia Both parties would not survive the era of Federation and were to soon become extinct from Rhodesian politics. When in 1923, the charter of Cecil Rhodes’ BSA Co. expired, the European inhabitants of Southern Rhodesia gathered to vote in a referendum which was to decide whether the territory was to become a province of the Union of South Africa, or whether it would be a Self-Governing British colony. In 1943, the Rhodesian Labour parties reunited, thus becoming sizable enough to become Rhodesia’s official opposition, and Huggins was careful to avoid any element of “class confrontation.” He invited the two principal Labour leaders into cabinet and they accepted his offer, though securing the consent of their party’s caucus prevented this from materializing. www.carluvers.com /cars/User_talk:El_C/Southern_Rhodesia   (90 words)

Mozambique - History and Politics Mozambique's closure of the border with Rhodesia in 1976 and its support for Rhodesian liberation movements as well as its support for the African National Congress (ANC) during the 1980s had led to commando raids by Rhodesian and South African forces into Mozambican territory. The most serious threat to Mozambique's stability at present lies not in the prospect of a return to arms by either of the main parties and a renewal of the civil war, but in the danger of increasing crime and violence as the economy fails to expand quickly enough to satisfy the needs of ex-combatants. Portugal's "right of occupation" of Mozambique was recognized at the Berlin conference of 1884-85 but most of the present borders of the country were fixed on the map only by the Anglo-Portuguese conventions of 1891. www.iss.co.za /AF/profiles/Mozambique/Politics.html   (4067 words)

Foreign & Commonwealth Office Country Profiles UK and Mozambique have enjoyed close relations, initially because of a shared interest in ending UDI in Rhodesia, the fruits of which were seen in Samora Machel’s persuasion of Robert Mugabe to accept the Lancaster House settlement in 1979. The Republic of Mozambique extends for 2,500 km along the east coast of Africa and shares land borders with Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Swaziland.

ProfileAfrica Ian Smith, a farmer, and landowner with a racist disposition like the late George Wallace of American politics, became prime minister of Rhodesia, then president by 1970, when the country became a republic. President Mugabe, a confirmed member of a fraternity of African politicians who are tone deaf to the duration of their usefulness as leaders, is using the land theme as his ticket to the next presidency. Robert Mugabe, president since independence, 1980, is by every indication hoping for another term in office. profileafrica.com /Search56.htm   (972 words)

United Press International - Washington Politics & Policy - Analysis: Simon faces issues in Calif. As a partial replacement, it boosted the importance of the subject-specific SAT II tests (formerly known as the Achievement Tests). In contrast, those who moved to California from the rest of the United States -- often drawn to jobs in Silicon Valley and Hollywood -- tended to be more economically elite and socially liberal. Connerly, a businessman and University of California regent, said, "I am quite certain that the 'chattering elite,' as Bill Simon has called them, of the Republican Party will counsel him to avoid hot button issues such as Propositions 209 and 227." www.upi.com /view.cfm?StoryID=11032002-072240-7292r   (2352 words)

Livingstone's a great place to start discovering the Real Africa! After Independence in 1964, Northern Rhodesia became Zambia and shortly after that Zambia adopted the politics of humanism, which is akin to socialism, and a one-party government. From 1907 to 1935, Livingstone was the capital of North Western Rhodesia, and this was a time of prosperity. North Western and North Eastern Rhodesia were amalgamated in 1935 to form Northern Rhodesia and it was then that the capital was moved to Lusaka - a more central location. www.africa-ata.org /za_livingstone.htm   (796 words)

elliott0694.txt The United Nations was constrained for much of the post-war period by Cold War politics and, prior to the 1990 embargo of Iraq (in response to its invasion of Kuwait), had imposed mandatory sanctions only twice: comprehensive sanctions against Rhodesia from 1966 to 1979, and an arms embargo of South Africa from 1977 to 1994. North Korea has threatened to treat the imposition of sanctions as an act of war and explicitly threatened Japan with "deserving punishment" if it cooperated with US proposals to cut off the flow of funds from the Korean community in Japan. The volume of potential economic leverage is limited because of North Korea's self-imposed isolation, which has been involuntarily deepened as a result of the regime's inability to generate the hard currency needed to pay for imports, and the unwillingness of China and Russia to continue providing goods on concessional terms. www.nautilus.org /archives/pub/ftp/napsnet/papers/elliott0694.txt   (4704 words)

A short history of Duponts in England He was made first president of the new Republic of Rhodesia in 1970, a position which he held until 1976 (a giant step from his humble Huguenot origins). While most of the family went into the 'family business', one son of Alfred, Clifford Dupont, emigrated to Southern Rhodesia, as it was called, after the Second World War to become a farm owner. Later he got involved in politics, and eventually became part of the controversial Ian Smith government in the late 1960s, which declared unilateral independence from Great Britain. www.zen7716.zen.co.uk /dupont/history.html   (717 words)

Nieman Foundation on Zimbawbe Journalists The President then made a special television broadcast to the nation, attacking the judges, calling upon them to resign, and accused them of wanting to enter politics. Following the state's refusal to comply with the court orders, judges of the country's High Court and Supreme Court issued a joint letter to President Robert Mugabe, asking him to reaffirm his commitment to the rule of law. Ironically, President Robert Mugabe and several present day political leaders suffered under the same Act, which at independence in 1980 they vowed to remove from the country's statute books. www.nieman.harvard.edu /pageone/case_history.html   (840 words)

Swans Commentary: Zimbabwe Under Siege, by Gregory Elich - elich004 Political analyst John Makumbe, a supporter of the MDC, admits, "It is largely white Rhodesians who are backing the trust." (55) To put it plainly, the ZDT receives much of its support from former officials and supporters of Ian Smith's apartheid Rhodesia. Zimbabwe is cursed with a plague of NGOs, all operating with the self-righteous sense of mission that they have the right to meddle in the affairs of a Third World nation and with the colonial attitude that they should dictate how others are to think and live. Tony Blair, aware of his sentiments, extorted Mbeki's compliance, telling him that NEPAD would be "dead in the water," unless he voted against Zimbabwe. www.swans.com /library/art8/elich004.html   (10646 words)

Politics Sir Garfield Todd But it was typical of Sir Garfield Todd, the progressive prime minister of Southern Rhodesia in the mid-1950s, who has died aged 94, that he carried the load lightly, though being an internationally respected guru was little consolation for decades of exclusion from active politics. In 1946, Todd won the Shabani seat for the United Rhodesia Party, the most liberal of the groupings in the field. His appearance before the United Nations colonialism committee in New York, caused a particular furore in settler circles at home, and it was as more UN invitations began to arrive that, in 1965, the rightwing Ian Smith, who had recently declared Rhodesia's unilateral - and illegal - independence, decided to immobilise him. politics.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,4523633-108996,00.html   (1361 words)

Guardian Unlimited Politics Special Reports Harold Wilson In November sterling fell to $2.40 and a badly shaken prime minister made an inept television address to the nation, arguing that the "pound in your pocket" was unaffected - an extraordinary reversal of the euphoric days of 1964-1966. James Harold Wilson happened to be prime minister leading a left wing party at a time when the mores of post-war political and economic change in Britain (and elsewhere) were just beginning to be perceived. It is my view that he was a remarkable prime minister and, indeed, a quite remarkable man. Cynics had a field day ridiculing him at the time of his decline. politics.guardian.co.uk /politicsobituaries/story/0,1441,563492,00.html   (3688 words)
