Not only was the United Nations singularly ineffective in reestablishing
order in these regions but it did little to assist in the evacuation of
terrified white women and children from these provinces. The United
Nations had planes available to evacuate to Stanleyville Gizengists
[supporters of the Communist Antoine Gizenga] who felt themselves in
danger in areas under the control of the Leopoldville Government. But it
showed little interest in evacuating whites from Stanleyville. . . . If a
Lumumbist was maltreated, a general outcry could be expected from
the Communist bloc, the Afro-Asian nations, and from liberal circles in
Britain and America. If a white woman was killed or molested. . .it made
little difference. 25
Newswoman Schuyler reported:
. . . a uniformed rabble was ruling Stanleyville--there was continual
extortion, brawling, beating and arbitrary arrests. Portuguese and
Greeks had to pay as much as $60 to drunken soldiers to avoid arrest.
Passengers arriving at Stanleyville's airport were met with a bayonet in
the stomach, while Congolese loafers would scream, "We are the
masters!" Congolese seized European cars right and left while UN

The following account appeared in the New York Daily News under the heading "Congo
Rebels Attack UN Train, Slay Kids":
Hundreds of rebel Baluba tribesmen yesterday massacred at least 20
Africans in three attacks on a UN guarded train taking school children
home for a New Year's vacation. . . . Scores of others were injured and
many passengers kidnapped by rebels after the attacks in Southern
Katanga. . . . The train left Elisabethville . . . with some 300 passengers,
including 100 children, and a strong guard of UN troops. But, when it
reached Kamina . . . in western Katanga, only 40 people were aboard. .
. . At Luena, three passengers were killed, many were kidnapped and
the station was pillaged. Several African women passengers . . . were
raped. At Bukama, waves of tribesmen attacked the train again with
spears, clubs, rifles, bows and arrows and machetes, killing 17
passengers and kidnapping many more. A spokesman said that the 17
persons who died at Bukama "were killed under the eyes of the UN."
Roger Nonkel, the assistant high commissioner of Sankuru in Kasai province, stated:
The UN are unable to restore order, and what is more, they are not
even trying.
In August, I asked help for Lusambo from Colonel Lasmar [chief of UN
troops in Kasai]. . . . I told him that with fifty UN soldiers I could prevent
war between the Batetela [Lumumba's tribe] . . . and the Baluba.
He answered me coldly: "Let them kill themselves." 27
The Communist plan for taking over the Congo was progressing as planned. Step one:
Capture control of the leadership at the top. Step two: Bring about utter and complete
