Excerpt

"In an exclusive interview with Jeune Afrique last week, Leopold Senghor, the poet-President of the Senegal, pointed out that if a couple of Portuguese mercenaries could occupy Conakry as the occupiers of November 22 seem to have done, there must have been a certain lack of enthusiasm for battle on the part of the Guineans."
