News analysis
Marxists feed flames in Africa
The coup In Lisbon may Bring some measure of Independence
to the Portuguese territories In Africa. Ordinarily, any move to¬
ward seir-government for people emerging from" colonialism could
be hailed aa progress. In" Africa today, however. It Is hard to tell
whether the retreat of European Influence has paved the way for
orderly political change - or created arenas for strife and
revolution which the Soviet Union and Communist China are willing
and able to exploit.
Russian and Chinese weapons have been the mainstay of guer¬
rilla warfare In the Portuguese territories and elsewhere. Mos¬
cow and Peking frequently compete with atd programs for native
governments, with the usual accompaniment of "technicians."
Their professed concern "for helping the African''people does not
conceal the fact they are rivals seeking to marshal Third World
support for .their contrasting brands of Marxism. They thrive
on discontent, whether it springs from racial conflict, struggles
between native groups or the specter of hunger which haunts
much of Africa. *
.Instability has been moving like a tide through Africa In recent
months. The government of Upper Volta changed hands In a military
coup In February. The armed forces of Niger seized their gov¬
ernment last month in an attempt to prevent a "catastrophe* from
famine and drought. Russian and Czech weapons, passed along by
Syria, are feeding a separatist movement In the Ethiopian province
of Eritrea while the army only last month ended the 57-year-old
feudal rule of Emperor Halle Selassie after giving ,hlm several
chances to reorganize his government. The dictatorial Idl Amtn of
Uganda is ruling by a reign of terror.
The government of Rhodesia, Its legitimacy not recognized by
many nations, is putting more men under arms to deal with a
guerrilla movement supported by neighboring countries. The re¬
cent election in South Africa promises a continuation of the
"apartheid"   policies  of  racial   separation   which are anathema to

Exclusive interview:
Muhammad Ali
(Editor's Note: In what has
been called the "BattleofGlanta*
Muhammad All will challenge
heavyweight .boring champion
George Foreman In Kinshasa, the
capital of the African country
of Zaire on the*lght of Oct. 30.
In a pro-fight exclusive inter¬
view, Howard Lee, Africa Maga¬
zine's correspondent In New
York, spoke to fast-talking All.
Uhuru reproduces part of that
AFRICA; You are challenging
George Foreman for the Heavy¬
weight Champlonahlp in Zaire
later this month. How do you as¬
sess your opponent, and what are
your tactics going to be In the
fight Itself?' .;
Ali: If you get Foreman's rec¬
ord and my record for the last
five years, you'll find he hasn't
fought over twelve rounds. I done
been In seventy rounds In the
last year and a half. I don't care
who he is, five rounds, at a good
pace following' me,-he's tired.
Then he starts thinking slow.
When you get tired you react
- slow. Let him sweat, lethim miss
and throw his. bombs, and stick
him and move, and outpoint him
for "bout six and get him tired.
Then start plckln' him, stickln',
movin', stickln', keep your dls-
punch him,. I got the reach on him,
I'm faster! You gotta believe!
AFRICA: Are you training hard,
for the fight? "   .       J
AU: Yeah, I been training spe¬
cially for this fight. I'm goln' to
tell you a few secrets. I done
wrassled with an alligator, I done
tussled with a whale, yesterday
it was raining I handcuffed light¬
ning andthrowed thunder In Jail.
Only last, week I murdered a
rock, Injured a stone, hospital¬
ized a brick, I'm so mean I
make medicine sick.
AFRICA: Who has been the
toughest opponent you have had
so far, and what do you think
Foreman's chances are against
AU: The first fight with Joe
Frazfer. I think Foreman's got
a good chance. I think he might
take me for the distance; ..'me '
winning a unanimous decision, I '11
stop It around the twelfth or thir¬
teenth round.
AFRICA: This is the first time
you are fighting on African soil.
Is there anything symbolic In
this; are you trying to Identify
yourself with the problems of
the Black man?
AU: The chief problem of the
Black man Is the lack of knowl¬
edge of himself. But this bout In
/.aire ain't got nothing to do with
Black people getting the knowl¬
edge of self, this ain't for that.
AFRICA: In 1964 upon your re-
■urn from Senegal, Ghana, Ni¬
geria and Egypt, you are quoted
■is saying "I'm not an American,
I'm a Black man!* What did you
ALI: The s:
e way. I
utl'rr
' Black man first. Many people
say I'm an American, I'm not-an
American, I'm a Muslim' first
really. I'm the aslatic Black man
from the tribe of Shabazz, we're
'aught this by Elijah Muhammad,
We were kidnapped some five
tmndred years ago from the bank
of the River Nile, Egypt; so I'm
tie original Black man, bom
here In America, but still Mus¬
lim. No Black people are Amer¬
ican, no Black people In this
country are Americans, they call
Americans. When we find out
*hat America means, we find out
*e're not Americans.
AFRICA: Did you find any ra¬
cial discrimination In boxing?
AU: No, I don't see It, I don't
notice it. . . Blacks control box-
% so they (whites) can't do much
0[ that;  the gate does not hire
a boxer or hold one back because
all of them are Black. They use '
us for making money, so they
don't discriminate, don't care
what you do, what position you
hold as long as you make white
people money. And Black people
make white people a lot of money
tn boxing.
AFRICA: What do you think the
Impact of the Zaire bout la going
to be on African boxing?
ALI: None at all. After us,
there won't M no more boxing In
Africa. We're Just a one night
stand, this ain't gof'ng to make
no more fighters.
AFRICA: Do you have any in¬
terest In promoting boxing In
Africa?
AU: Not even In America. I'm
promoting education and do
something for self, unity, unite,
build, and construct, not sports.
AFRICA: So how are you going
to get Black -people to unite?
ALI: Join the Islamic faith,
and the Muslims and the brother¬
hood throughout the world; nothin'
like It. ThosewhoareChristlans,
get out of Christianity, It's a
white man's religion. Join back to
the Islamic teachings, the culture
of the Black man.
AFRICA: It's true then that you
plan  to retire after this fight ■
and return to become a Muslim
Minister?
AU: Return! I was a Minister,
but was expelled because I re¬
turned to boxing. I told the Hon-
. ourable Elijah Muhammad that I
. want to be a Minister and that's
aU. I can't be a Minister and a
boxer, so I had to resign until
I finish boxing. I plan to return
as soon as I finish boxing.
AFRICA: What has given you so
much confidence In your boxing
career and In your life?
. AU: Because Elijah Muham¬
mad is fearless. Allah, his God
protects us, so we who follow him
are fearless. See, aln'tno guards
here, anybody can walk In.There

nobody else In the world you can

That's why they call me the'peo¬
ple's, choice.*
AFRICA: Surely there must be
something more than your Mus¬
lim faith; you must have some
other personal philosophy which
gives you your tremendous con¬
fidence?
AU: Huh, huh, I can answer
you this way: I Just wrote a mas¬
terpiece, one of my positive
thinking poems: If I think- I'm
beaten..I am. If I think I dare not,
I don't. If I like towln but think
I cant, it's almost a cinch I
won't. If I think I'll lose, I've
lost. For out In the world you
will find success begins with a
person's -will. It's all a state of
mind. For many, a race Is lost
even before a step Is run, and
many a coward rails even before
his work is begun. Think big and
your deeds will grow, think small
and you will faU behind. Think you
can, and you will. It's all a state
of mind. If I think I'll lose then
I've lost, yqu've got to think
high to rise, you've got to be
sure of yourself before you can
