The representatives of India at the War Cabinet and the Prime Minister of Southern Rhodesia have joined in our deliberations and are united with us. At this memorable meeting, in the fifth year of the war, we give thanks for deliverance from the worst perils which have menaced us in the course of this long and terrible struggle against tyranny. Though hard and bitter battles lie ahead, we now see before us, in the ever growing might of the forces of the United Nations, and in the defeats already inflicted on the foe, by land, by sea and in the air, the sure presage of our future victory. To all our Armed Forces who in many lands are preserving our liberties with their lives, and to the peoples of all our countries whose efforts, fortitude and conviction have sustained the struggle, we ex press our admiration and gratitude. We honour the famous deeds of the Forces of the United States and of Soviet Russia, and pay our tribute to the fighting tenacity of the many states and nations joined with us. We re member indeed the prolonged, stubborn resistance of China, the first to be attacked by the authors of world-aggression, and we rejoice in the unquenchable spirit of our comrades in every country still in the grip of the enemy.

Request came from Kaunda to intervene in Rhodesia as Zambia’s position is becoming untenable with regard to the purpose of a thoroughfare and bases for Cubans on their way to Rhodesia and Mozambique. According to message from this source the situation in Rhodesia has reached crisis proportions. South Africa’s standpoint remains unchanged in that it is not prepared to exert pressure on Rhodesia. South Africa did not pressurize or influence Rhodesia to have discussions. We informed Rhodesia that in calculations it must, in the case of war, operate with the assumption that it is alone. The difficult decision, however, awaits the government, namely if Rhodesia becomes involved in war could South Africa remain on the outside.

ABSTRACT My thesis offers an examination of U.S. policy towards Rhodesia as viewed through the lens of the respective Presidential administrations. The aim of my research is to demonstrate the changing American perspective on the Rhodesian question and how this directly affected the ultimate emergence of an independent Zimbabwe. I discuss the transformation in U.S. policy from the cautious approach of the Johnson White House, the shift towards ‘white Africa’ during the Nixon years as anti-communism and economic interests took centre stage and the subsequent attempt of the Ford Administration to achieve a peace settlement to prevent further communist expansion into southern Africa. Finally, I will analyse the critical role played by President Carter in bringing an end to UDI.

Alexander Green* December 9, 2016 v1.2 Abstract: In 1976, United States Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger conducted a series of intricate, multiparty negotiations in Southern Africa to persuade white Rhodesian leader Ian Smith to accede to black majority rule. Conducted near the end of President Gerald Ford’s term in office, against substantial U.S. domestic opposition, Kissinger’s efforts culminated in Smith’s public announcement that he would accept majority rule within two years. This set the stage for the later Lancaster House negotiations which resulted in the actual transition to black majority rule. The account in this working paper carefully describes—but does not analyze nor draw lessons from —these challenging negotiations. Forthcoming papers will provide analysis and derive general insights from Kissinger’s negotiations to end white minority rule in Rhodesia.

Mr. Wilson's Visit to Rhodesia. Mr. Harold Wilson's visit to Rhodesia took place from Oct. 25-30 and led to an understanding by both Governments on the establishment of a Royal Commission without, however, any agreement on its terms of reference. In view of this, the British Government accepted a Rhodesian proposal that the people of Rhodesia should be consulted as to whether or not they accepted independence on the basis of the 1961 Constitution, but no agreement was reached on how this should be done. While negotiations were proceeding, the Rhodesian Government on Nov. 5 declared a state of emergency throughout the country. The British Government nevertheless pursued the idea of consultation of the Rhodesian people through the proposed Royal Commission, and Sir Hugh Beadle, the Rhodesian Chief Justice and chairman-designate of the Commission, travelled to London on Nov. 8 for discussions, though he did not have the authority of the Rhodesian Government. Following an exchange of letters between the Queen and the Rhodesian Government on Nov. 9, and a telephone conversation in the early morning of Nov. 11 between Mr. Wilson and Mr. Ian Smith, a declaration of independence was broadcast by Mr. Smith later on Nov. 11. The Governor of Rhodesia immediately repudiated the Rhodesian Government's action, and Mr. Wilson announced in the House of Commons that Mr. Smith's declaration was an illegal act and listed the counter-measures taken, or to be taken, by the British Government.
