In 1960 many colonies
In Africa become independent
Chad, Mali, Cameroon, the Congolese
Nigeria, Niger... However, in
Algeria it's war against the French
Who won't let go, and this year detonate
Nuclear bombs in the desert there. The stench
From South Africa of its apartheid
Is strongest in Sharpeville - they demonstrate
Against the pass laws and get shot. Patrice
Lumumba is deposed while the western
Powers look on. Mobutu takes the state
Of Congo into dark times. Japanese
Protest their treaty with the Americans
