	Rhodesia - Mzilikaze to Smith (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Rhodesian problem is essentially the outcome of white and fl settlement in Southern Africa, and the resultant confrontation between two societies - West European and African, and the central issue today revolves round the continued survival of whites, and the contribution they can, or will be allowed to make to Rhodesia's future development.
		The Rhodesian Front, formed by the Dominion Party and dissenters from the UFP in March 1962, (these included Smith, who had resigned from the UFP over the 1961 Constitution) caused an upset during the December elections, coming to power with a majority of five seats in the 50-member Legislature.
		Efforts to bring the Rhodesian government and the various nationalists together, were intensified during the next two months, the South African government playing a prominent role in attempts to bring the interested parties to the conference table.

		In addition, the connection with Britain that European Rhodesians purported to hold dear ― despite their declaration of a republic in 1970 ― was overshadowed by Rhodesia’s status as a rebel colony.
		On 4 February, the Chairman of the Rhodesian Front, Desmond Frost, told the Commission that unless Africans reciprocated, there was no guarantee that his party could continue to support the proposals.
		He stressed that the new Rhodesian racial legislation requiring Africans to carry identity cards and limiting their educational prospects posed ‘a serious danger [of] alienat[ing] the moderate African whose support is absolutely essential if we are to achieve a settlement’.

		To the average non-politically-aware Rhodesian it therefore appeared as if they didn't have a friend in the outside world; even their trusted Southern neighbour now seemed to be turning their back on them.
		The outcome was not only that critical letters concerning the SRC were written to the establishment press from politically naive pro-RF elements in the predominantly Rhodesian audiences, but also, incredibly, that several leading office bearers in the SRC resigned from their posts, quoting as their reasons that the Campaign had "gone political".
		Secondly international sanctions had totally failed to destroy the Rhodesian economy, and indeed the nation had successfully built up its own self-sufficient economic infrastructure which was the envy, and indeed a potential signpost, for many vastly larger Western nations.

		The Southern Rhodesian African National Congress (SRANC) formed in September 1957 by an amalgamation of the old Bulawayo-based Congress and the more militant Youth League in Salisbury articulated the disaffection of much of the rural and urban fl population at their almost total domination by the small resident white community.
		In April 1971, three Rhodesian soldiers were killed when their vehicle detonated a land-mine while crossing a riverbed on the Mozambique border, north of the Mavuradonha mountains, and in July a large cache of arms and, equipment was found in a warehouse in Salisbury's light industrial area.
		This is particularly true for Zambia, which acts as a host territory to the exiled Rhodesian nationalists, and consequently faces not only hostility from the white countries, but also dangers to her internal security from the rival nationalist organizations.

	OJPCR 1.4 -- Lord Carrington's Mediation
		The importance that Britain gave to the Rhodesian problem is demonstrated by the fact that in his first morning in office, Lord Carrington said, "'We're going to settle it" and he has said that eighty percent of the Foreign Office's work at the time involved this issue.
		The Patriotic Front also received more assembly points for their guerrillas (a critical issue as the Patriotic Front knew that their soldiers would be vulnerable to a conventional attack, especially from the Rhodesian air force).
		The Rhodesians said that the British had given them (secret) assurances that Mugabe would not be allowed to form a government and that instead Nkomo would be part of a coalition government.

		By the 1970s the Rhodesian security forces had forced the guerrillas to relocate to bases outside of the country, mainly on the Mozambique and Zambia borders.

		The Rhodesian Mine Warfare Committee and the representatives of the South African Defence Research Unit in the Joint Mine Warfare Committee realised that the blast from the landmine was simply trapped under the flat underneath of most service vehicles, thrusting the vehicle upwards while penetrating the floor with drastic consequences.
		The problem was that, even if the Milton pans were suspended on a boom in front of a vehicle, there would be little time for the driver to stop the vehicle after a landmine was detected before his front wheels detonated it unless he was travelling literally at a crawl.
		The Rhodesian Corps of Engineers took to moving Pookies on trailers, hidden by tarpaulins to conceal their identity from the insurgents and their informers so that time was not wasted on roads that in reality were safe.

		First, the electoral victory of the new Rhodesian Front (RF) party in 1962, on an explicit platform of protection for white privilege, forced the nationalist movements to reassess their strategies of negotiated settlement.
		The hardening of positions and the rapid shift to the right in Rhodesian white politics transformed the remaining doves of ZANU and ZAPU into hawks, and a military victory was now considered necessary, given the deteriorating political climate.
		5 The Rhodesian government had an interest in ‘sanctions busting’, and therefore the enlistment of support from South Africa and the former Portuguese colonies was necessary.
