Reporter speaks of revolutions
Eye-witness relays viewpoints
based on first-hand experience
The better-organized the
black majority becomes in
South Africa, the more it is op
pressed by their government,
news correspondent Wilfred
Burchett said to almost 300
persons Wednesday in 167
EMU.
“There's no possibility
negotiations will take place,"
Burchett added, saying re
volutionary leaders in South
Africa only resorted to arms
after other means of dealing
with the government had been
exhausted.
Burchett addressed the topic
of “Revolution—a View from
the Front Lines,” relaying his
experiences in China, Africa,
Vietnam, North Korea, Laos,
Mozambique, Angola and the
Middle East. This was his first
speaking tour in the United
States.
He is a veteran reporter for
the Guardian, an independent
Marxist newspaper. His ap
pearance with irwin Siiber, the
executive editor of the New
York based newspaper, was
sponsored by the University
Cultural Forum, the MayDay
Cultural Committee and the
Eugene chapter of the National
Lawyers Guild.
Examining his media cover
age of revolutions, Burchett
said he is impressed with the
solidarity of revolutionary peo
ple.
In Africa today, “this is the
last push now into the stron
ghold of racism and fascism.,'
he said. He added the black
revolutionary forces will “push
further south until they have
South African troops against
the sea.”
In a question and answer
session following Burchett s
speech, he was asked why the
Guardian criticizes South Af
rica, where 67 blacks were kil
led in the 1960 demonstration,
but ignores Uganda, where
hundreds of thousands are
rumored to have been mas
sacred. Burchett repiied,
“Uganda is, unfortunately, an
independent country."
