"Well they have certainly cut the Gordian knot but I think the consequences may well be rather bloody. Six months ago I would have said that it was an outright victory for Moishe Tshombe, Joseph Kasavubu and the Federalists who wanted a Congo with a decentralised series of Governments and a slightly sort of pro-Western tinge to their international politics. But now I think that with the international committments of Ghana, Guinea, of Cairo, of Moscow & Delhi, all on Lumumba's side & committed to the hilt on his side. One wonders whether they can afford to do nothing about it:
(Q. A UN Official is quoted as saying if Lumumba was killed there would be no peace in the Congo for 20 years- Would you agree?)
CS Ryan: SOF:
"Well I think it certainly hasn't hastened the peace: It may give a temporary illusion of a solution to the problem but I can see absolutely no permanent solution on this rather clumsy and rather unfortunate accident as it is now described as: But to say there won't be peace for 20 years is perhaps pessimistic: I think we must keep our heads: I just don't think anybody could possibly calculate the consequences of Lumumba's death at this moment
