Zaire is an East - African nation that gained independence from the Belgiums in i /\/l A mm iyw. 1 ne nrst prime minister of Zaire was Patrice Lumumba who ~ was brutally ^murdered in 1961. Zaire is copper-rich and also has a lot of other mineral wealth. Zaire has always been before the world. The country has strong (Jhristain base. It is considered ? by many the music center trf~~ Africa. Many former American slaves are believed to have come from that part of Africa. Zaire fought a bitter war and the former United Nations secretarygeneral Mr. Dag Hammarsiold died in a plane crash on his way to Zaire during the Congo war. This year, Zaire football team represented Africa"in~ the world football contest in Germany. Although the :rnnar* team did not win a single name they focused attention on /aire and on Africa.

Ali vs Foreman fight will be an occasion for big' holiday in Zaire just as America's landing on the moon was a big holiday in Zaire. -The proportion"of unemployment in many African nations, wneluding Zaire is often measured by the frequency of public holidays granted for events both internationally and locally. Many people in Africa see the Ali vs Foreman African fight, not in terms of a boxing match but in terms of the return home of the descendants of the children of lost slaves who have made it big in the country in which their forefathers lived and are now coming back to their ancestral homes. Unfortunately, this homecoming will be very expensive for the ordinary Zairan citizen to take part in. The homecoming will be a period of merry-making for many foreign visitors that will descend on the capital or /.aire, Kinshasa and for that small nucleus of African elite who can afford to see the fight ~ Boxing is not as popular in Zaire as it is in Nigeria.

Why then the boxing title fight in Zaire? The answer probaBly lies in the fact that for quite some time now, the Zairan President, . Mr. Sese Seko Kuku Mobutu has been engaged in changing the . image of his nation from that of strife torn to that of a, stable government. The Congo disaster, . it is believed by many Zairans must be shown as a thing of the past and today's Zaire must be pictured as a land of stable government. The Ali vs Foreman title fight is probably designed to show the American public, just as the soccer same showed neonle in F-urope this Summer that Zaire _ has outgrown her past. As Mobutu tries internationally to erase the bad memories of the past about his country, at home, he is steadily building up his own image and black power. In l'971, he decreed that all Christian names must be replaced by "African ones. Zairan men and women must dress in African clothes and he personally discared his own Christain name, Joseph Desire and took up the African names of Kasp Kiikii Ngbendu Wa Za Banga. What will American visitors to the capital of Zaire, Kinshasa ?see. He will see a country of over 28 million people. In Kinshasa he will see a city where modernization and the traditional past mingle together. He will see big modern buildings and he will also see the slums of the surrounding neighborhood. He will .see nearly all the cars manufactured in all parts of the world and he will also see some native Africans untouched by the riches of Zaire that are said to be many.
