Police said areas in the town ship of Tokoza were ''practically besieged" Monday as sporadic gunfire pierced the air, cars burned and bodies were recov ered in the streets. Police found 20 bodies Mon day in Tokoza and Katlehong townships, bringing the toll in the townships to at least 44 since the beginning of the weekend. Like previous clashes that have plagued the townships since the 1980s, the current fighting ap peared to pit residents who back the African National Congress against Zulu migrant workers who live in hostels and support the Inkatha Freedom Party. Running battles continued into the night with police reporting sporadic gunfire, burning barri cades in the street and cars and houses being burned in the tense townships. Two hostels were cordoned off after Zulus threatened on Mon day to attack township residents, police said. In the eastern province of Na tal, at least 28 deaths were record ed during the weekend. Many of the deaths in Natal appeared linked to the ongoing ANC- Inkatha feud. In several instances, entire families were slaughtered. Political violence has killed more than 10,000 blacks since 1990. It has periodically slowed the black-white talks on ending apartheid, but on Friday, negotia tors set April 27 as the date for the country's first election includ ing the black majority. With the current level of vio lence it would be difficult, if not impossible, to hold fair elections. In areas controlled by either ANC or Inkatha supporters, opponents would risk attack if they tried to campaign on a rival's turf. Exercise Classes * Informal Recreation Intramurals Tuesday.

The fraternal message — and his acceptance with exiled President Jean-Bertrand Aristide of a U.N. peace plan — have so far failed to inspire much con fidence in a country that has known nothing but dis cord since the popular president was overthrown in a bloody 1991 military coup. Traditional enemies, the people and the military, have little faith in each other. The U.N. document providing for Aristide's reinstatement Oct. 30 must fly in a country that has an old saying: "Constitu tions are made of paper, bayonets are made of steel." The "role" of the military, according to Cedras, is to defend and develop the country. Army critics say that would be a dramatic change from its present preoccupation with oppressing the poor, profiting from drugs and contraband and getting kickbacks from state-run enterprises. The role of politicians would be to inspire democ racy-loving Haitians to peaceful participation, such as the votes for a new constitution in 1987 and presi-l dent in December 1990. Haiti also has seen "people power" turn into lynch mobs that killed members of the dreaded Ton- ton Macoute militia after the fall of the Duvalier fam ily dictatorship in 1986. The failure of Aristide and Cedras to meet face-to- face throughout the U.N.-brokered talks in New York last week wasn't a good sign for the new spirit the two profess. Even Cedras and one of Aristide's most popular supporters, the Rev. Gerard Jean-Juste, have ex pressed concern about violence during the transition. "I won't stand for the army to be monkeyed with," Cedras said in his nationwide address late Saturday that focused on a need for tolerance and peace. Election cancellation causes riots in Nigeria Jim Si Tuesdc THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAGOS, Nigeria — Thousands of people ignited bonfires, hijacked cars and rampaged through the streets of Nigeria's biggest city to day to protest the military dicta tor's cancellation of last month's presidential elections. The street violence broke out just hours before major human rights groups had planned a march to protest the government's decision to annul the June 12 vote, which was to return this nation of 88 million people to civilian rule. Authorities sealed off the cen tral business district of this sprawling city of 1.3 million resi dents as more than 20 areas ex ploded into violence. Running mobs lighted giant fires, stole cars and snarled traffic in what al ready was one of the world's most congested cities. Crowds of residents tried to get out of the way of mobs and cars drove the wrong way on the city's dangerous roads. It was the first serious unrest to hit Lagos since the dictatorship on June 16 abruptly voided the re sults of the balloting, which ac cording to unofficial counts was swept by business tycoon Mos- hood K.O. Abiola. Military ruler Gen. Ibrahim Ba- bangida claimed the voting that he carefully organized was rigged and declared a new ballot must be held July 31. Babangida hand picked the only two candidates al lowed to run in the June 12 vote and has repeatedly reneged on promises to return Nigeria to democracy. "Abiola must be president! Ba bangida must go!" rioters shouted. The government released the details of the new election Sun day, but few politicians planned to participate in them. Abiola's Social Democrats said they will boycott the ballot. Parliament also said it will have nothing to do with the new election and at least 30 high-rank-j ing army officers resigned to protest the election cancellation. Even a member of Babangida's latest electoral commission sub mitted her resignation today. "I don't know whom I'm sup posed to be serving on this com mission," said Tosin Kalai. "Cer tainly not the Nigerian people who massively expressed their will on June 12."
