Toure Says Aide Killed
African Liberation Leader
National Black News Service
WASHINGTON - Amilcar
Cabral, leader of PAIGC. the
African liberation movement in
Guinea-Bissau, was slain by one
of his aides, according to a radio
broadcast by President Sekou
Toure of Guinea.
Cabral, who made his head
quarters in Guinea for his fight
to oust the colonialist Portu
guese regime from the soil of
the tiny Portuguese-held colony-
in W'pst Af'*ca. was assassinat
ed two weeKs ago in front of his
home in Conakry.
Toure has identified the
assassin as Inocente Camil. a
top aide to Cabral and naval
commander of PAIGC (African
Party for the Independence of
Guinea and Cape Verde).
The Guinean President said
Camil had been captured in one
of three boats intercepted about
:10 miles from Guinea-Bissau
(Portuguese Guinea) along with
several others who were
involved in Cabral's death, With
them were other P.AIGC leaders
who were to be turned over to
the Portuguese by the traitor.
According to toure. Camil
has confessed that Portuguese
authorities had promised to
grant independence to Guinea-
Bissau on condition that Cabral
was killed and P.-MGC was
destroyed Under the agree
ment the off-shore Cape Verde
Islands were to remain under
Portuguese rule,
Portugal has denied any
involvement in Cabral's assas
sination.
Under Cabral's leadership.
PAIGC has liberated 90 percent
of the territory of Guinea-Bis
sau and elections were conduct
ed last December to establish a
12U-men assembly to govern the
liberated areas.
Radio Conakry announced
that Vitor Monteiro, like Cabral
a native of Cape Verde, has
been named to succeed the
fallen leader. And President
Toure said that the traitors
involved in the assassination
would be turned over to PAIGC
for trial.
Cabral's younger brother.
Luiz, called for cohtinued
struggle to liberate Guinea-Bis
sau He said the PAIGC party
office in Senegal had been
swamped with people wanting
to pay their respects to the slain
revolutionary.
In this country, the African
Lil>eration Support Committee
and other Pan .Africanist and
nationalist groups held memor
ial services for Cabral. Most of
them called for increased
support by blacks in this
country for African liberation
movements in southern Africa,

Shooting
Surely, one black Raleigh

the bullets started “flying” at

Officer W. L. Carter that he,
James Davis and three other

location when an arguement
ensued. Hardv is said to have
declared he did not know who
shot him.
A search of the apartment
revealed a sawed-off, 2 gauge
shotgun found under the sofa in
the living room with an
expended shell still in the gun.
Another expended shell was
found lying beside the gun.
When “the law" arrived at
the apartment to search it, the
brother of James Davis, David

there, but allegedly stated that

DURHAM - “Revenue shar
ing means that Black citizens
must take a new and hard look
at how local and state
government funds are spent,”
said John Edwards in a
statement released by the North
Carolina Voter Education Proj
ect. ’’It is most important."
Edwards said, “for Blacks to
learn more about the how',
‘where’, and ‘xxhy’ of decision
making on how the people's
money is spent and for Blacks to
contact public officials, parti
cularly at the local level about
this new program, for revenue
sharing may create new
problems for the Black commu
nity."
Revenue sharing, which is
known officially as the State
and Local Fiscal Assistance Act
of 1972, provides for the federal
government to give I3U.2 billion
over a five-year period to local
and state government for use as
they see fit. within certain
broad guidelines.
“While the idea of revenue
sharing is simple, the implica
tions for the black community
arc enormous", said Edwards.
He pointed out that little federal
control means that the variety

monies, including revenue

in many instances, or they may

feels that ihe»e is a great
danger that the revenue sharing

programs as law enforcement,
primarily the purchase of
additional weapons, rather than
