Declaration Signed by the Five Prime Ministers / 1
Declaration Signed by the Five Prime Ministers / 1 Declaration Signed by the Five Prime Ministers United Kingdom, 1944 We, The King’s Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, have now, for the first time since the outbreak of the war, been able to meet together to discuss common problems and future plans. 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. -

Digital Archive digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org International History Declassified March 03, 1976 South African Government Cabinet Minutes on Rhodesia, 3 March-1 September 1976 Citation: “South African Government Cabinet Minutes on Rhodesia, 3 March-1 September 1976,” March 03, 1976, History and Public Policy Program Digital Archive, South African National Archives, CAB 1/1/6. Included in "Southern Africa in the Cold War, Post-1974," edited by Sue Onslow and Anna-Mart Van Wyk. http://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/118528 Summary: Excerpts from discussions on the situation in Rhodesia, the possible implications that a hostile Rhodesia would pose to South African defense calculations, and the policies South Africa should pursue with regards to Rhodesia. Credits: This document was made possible with support from the Leon Levy Foundation. Original Language: English Contents: English Transcription Report of the Rhodesia position. Worsens according to all reliable sources. 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. -

Rhodesia Or Zimbabwe No Middle Ground in Africa
Rhodesia or Zimbabwe No Middle Ground in Africa a publication of THE AFRICA FUND associated with the American Committee on Africa 164 Madison Avenue New York, N.Y. 10016 September 1969 Rhodesia or Zimbabwe No Middle Ground in Africa Summer, 1969 Three and one-half years after its unilateral declaration of independence (UDI) from Great Britain; the white minority regime of Rhodesia has been given a mandate by referendum vote of its unrepresentative electorate to prevent African majority rule forever. Twice since 1965 the British had offered compromises to postpone majority rule if provision were made for African advancement. But Britain's original refusal to use force against the rebellion, and the ineffectiveness of inter national economic sanctions, left her no leverage to influence Rhodesia's future. The United Nations, under pressure from its Afro-Asian block, will probably continue its sanctions policy. But it will not stop the sanctions' breaking of Rhodesia's neighbors, South Africa and Portuguese Mozambique, or change the unwillingness of the major powers to circumvent them. The constitution approved by the referendum gives the African majority token representation, carefully controlled. It establishes a police state. And it legalizes discrimination against Africans, moving toward apartheid. The African majority now has no recourse excepting its own strength. Britain was responsible, but failed. Most of the world opposed UDI and opposes the new constitution, but the United Nations is unable to prevent the temporary victory of white reaction. Both the African nationalist parties, the Zimbabwe African Peoples Union and the Zimbabwe African National Union, are engaged in guerrilla warfare against the regime, and in under ground organization of the people to fight for independence. -

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. -

Copies of working papers are available from the author. Henry Kissinger: Negotiating Black Majority Rule in Southern Africa by James K. Sebenius, R. Nicholas Burns, Robert H. Mnookin, and L. 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.
