NYERERE AT CAIRO ASSAILS NKRUMAH
Tanganyikan Says Ghanaian Only Preaches Unity
The New York Times
July 21, 1964
CAIRO, July 20 —President Julius K. Nyerere of the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar made a bitter attack on President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana before the conference of the Organization of African Unity here today.
He accused Mr. Nkrumah of preaching rather than practicing unity and of advocating African union with reasons that were “absurdities.” He said Mr. Nkrumah was “extremely petty” in refusing support of the organization's liberation committee.
“This union government business has become a cover for doing some of the most unbrotherly things in Africa,” the 42-year-old Tanganyika leader declared.
It was the first personal assault on a fellow African leader the conference had heard. Mr. Nkrumah remained in his seat throughout Mr. Nyerere's speech, his face impassive, his hands folded.
Mr. Nkrumah had repeated his call for a strong federal union of all independent African sates yesterday. He argued that this was the only way Africans could maintain their freedom in the face of outside imperialism.
Mr. Nyerere espoused the more popular step-by-step approach, on the ground that full final union now was impossible. The Tanganyikan received an ovation at the close of his speech, which he said he had not wanted to make.
Formal addresses were suspended at noon and the African leaders joined committees assigned to the specific problems of promoting unity, driving out the remaining “colonialists,” handling boundary disputes and developing trade and better standards of living for Africa's 250 million inhabitants. They hope to prepare and adopt resolutions so the conference can end tomorrow night.
Mr. Nyerere was plainly angered by various remarks made by Mr. Nkrumah yesterday, including one accusing the organization's liberation committee of inaction throughout the last year. Mr. Nyerere said this was a “curious accusation” to come from the leader of the “only country that has not paid a single penny to the committee since its establishment.”
The committee was established to organize and aid freedom fighters’ movements in territories under foreign control, notably Mozambique, Angola and Portuguese Guinea.
Yesterday Mr. Nkrumah referred to the army mutiny in Tanganyika last winter and spoke of the “humiliation” of an African state's having, as Mr. Nyerere did, to call troops of the “former colonial power”—Britain—to restore order and save the government.
Mr. Nyerere charged today that Ghana's Ambassador in Tanganyika at the time “rejoiced” in this humiliation, and “I was forced to request that he be removed.”
The heads of state, before adjourning the conference, are expected to strengthen the Organization of African Unity by choosing a permanent headquarters and selecting a permanent secretary general.
Ahsante sana Shwari kwa hili bandiko lako.
Ila ningependa kuuliza. Wewe ndiye uliyeliandika au umelitoa sehemu?
Halafu, kuna video ya hiyo hotuba ya Nyerere?
Nyani Ngabu,
Asante sana.
Hilo bandiko lilichapishwa katika gazeti la New York Times. kama ilivyo onyeshwa hapu juu. Liliandikwa na mwandishi wa habari wa gazeti hilo aliyekuwa kwenye mkutano wa OAU, Cairo, July 1964, ambako Nkrumah alimshambulia Nyerere na kumwita "imperialist agent" kwa sababu ambazo nimeeleza kwenye posts zangu katika mjadala huu. Nilikuwa boarding school namaliza darasa la nane, middle school, mwaka huo (1964).
Sijawahi kuiona video ya Nyerere kwenye mkutano huo lakini nitajaribu kuitafuta.
Ahsante sana.
Naona sikusoma vizuri bandiko zima.
