Anarchy Reigns
In One-Third
Of the Congo
o
I EOPOLDVILLE. The Congo
— Patrice Lumumba’s lieutenants
are locked in a desperate struggle
for power among themselves and
anarchy reigns in the one-third
of the Congo they control, intel
ligence reports said today.
Anticet Kashamura, a close ad
viser of the dead ex-premier, has
been dethroned as boss of Kivu
Province and taken by army es
cort to Stanleyville, the rebel capi
tal, diplomatic sources said. He
was considered No. 2 behind
Communist-backed rebel Premier
Antoine Gizenga. But Gizenga
himself is reported to be in peril.
Refugees reaching neighboring
Ruanda-Urundi from Kivu told
of terror rising with one priest
beheaded and other whites mo
lested by unruly rebel soldiers
and young nationalists.
Gizenga, whose army put Kash
amura in power in Kivu earlier
this month, was believed to be in
a shaky position because of his
lack of a personal political fol
lowing in Oriental.
In the Congo, the allegiance of
tribes is strong, and Gizenga, a
native of Leopoldville Province is
regarded as a foreigner in Stan
leyville.
One high western diplomat said
the whole picture of rebel chaos
and confusion would be changed
overnight if the leftists succeed in j
gaining the support of the Sudan.
This would open a road for arms
and supply shipment to the rebels
from their friends in the United
Arab Republic.
