JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa- Police put up cordons in
two black townships near Johan
nesburg on Monday as cars and
houses were set afire in political
violence that killed more than 70
blacks nationwide in three days.
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.

Haitian leaders agree to peace plan
Commander believes everyone must play correct roles
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Democracy can
come to Haiti "if we all play our roles,” army com
mander Raoul Cedras declares.
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

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."
