In the ten weeks since African nationalists ousted the dominant Arab elite, pro-Communists have moved to neutralize nationalists, eliminate all moderate pro- Western influences, and tie the islands economically and militarily to the Communist bloc. Two Moscow- trained labor leaders who played a major role in this maneuver have now taken over the Ministry of Finance and Development, and the .Ministry of Communications and Works. The former ministers of finance and education-- both moderates--have been assigned to Washington and London, with pro-Communists as their deputies. Although both ministers were leaders in President Karume's Afro-Shirazi Party, they were his prerev- olutionary rivals and their, transfer may have had his approval. There is no indication that any confrontation be- tween Karume and the pro-Communists is imminent. He has appeared indifferent to the pro-Communists' maneuvers and decrees, which are disguised as Black African socialism. Karume's newly appointed executive assistant is a Moscow-trained protege of Vice President Han a a self-styled Marxist with a Russian wife. 25X1 26 Mar 64 Approved For DAILY BRIEF 3 ONEENNENEW i :x: Approved For Release 2003/02/27: CIA-RDP79TOO975AO0760=AiO: 25X1 South Korea: ~2pposition party leaders are pro- moting the student demonstrations in hopes of creat- ing a situation which will lead to the overthrow of the -:3A Pak governmerUNI h,n t demonstrations were directly instigated by former President Yun Po-sun's Civil Rule Party (CRP).

(rhe US Embassy in Libreville reports that Mba is be oming more confident and intransigent as the scheduled 12 April elections draw nearer. Unless Paris applies pressure, the embassy believes he will probably use increasingly repressive and brutal meas- ures to stay in power a is receiving strong support from influential private French interests in Gabon, notably Roland Bru, a wealthy French businessman who has long claimed to be "the real government" of the country. Bru is reputed to have top-level connections in Paris, and this may account in part for the French Government's failure to force Mba to follow the coriliatory course avowedly favored by the Quai d'Ors A commission established to investigate the 18 February military coup has indicted Mba's principal political opponent, Jean Aubame. There is consider- able concern in Libreville, shared by the embassy, that the imprisoned Aubame may be executed or mur- dered before the elections. Aubame has become the hero of the growing number of anti-French Gabonese.

CIA-RDP79T00975A007600 70W1 j j Belgium-Congo: Belgium's relations with the Congo have improved as a result of Foreign Minister Spaak's mid-March visit to Leopoldville. During Spaak's visit, a tentative agreement was reached on sharing the public debt that the Congo had acquired before independence. This agreement may be formalized in a treaty, possibly by 30 June. Nego- tiations appear to be progressing on the extremely complicated problem of transferring the former colo- nial government's shares of businesses and utilities to the Adoula government. Adoula and Spaak also agreed on the need for supplying increased numbers of Belgian technicians to assist the Congo. 1 26 Mar 64 IN Approved For Rel DAILY BRIEF 6 Approved For Release 2003/02/27 .CIA-RDP79T00975A007600070001 0 25X1 25X1 I L bya: Prime Minister Muntassir continues to believe that pressures for the removal of Western bases from Libya will not ease.
