Nigeria axpands crackdown on antidrug agency Nigeria has dismissed seven top officials of the government's antidrug agency and suspended nine others accused of bribe taking, extortion and other offenses. The dismissals are the first results of a task forced created early this year to investigate allegations of corruption in the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency. In a press conference in Abuja, Nigeria, Head of State Gen. Sani Abacha described the involvement of a number of Nigerians in the international drug trade, as a monumental national embarrassment and a cancerous malaise which is a great source of

concern.

Abacha blamed the problem on the indiscipline of some of the people and their general tendency to get rich quick. He acknowledged the problem had grown large enough to turn Nigeria into a notorious drug route. Abacha vowed that the government is determined to stamp 9Ut drug trafficking in all its

^unifications.

As an indication of Nigera’s jfforts in the war against drugs, \bacha noted the government’s veent seizure of the largest cache of leroin yet discovered in Africa with in estimated street value of more ban $300 million. In addition to the iismissal at NDLEA, Abacha wants he government to continue with plans to revamp and reorganize the agencyaswellasridtheorganization. of corruption and raise the penalties for drug traffickers. Democratic committee adds to party’s team Following a recent reorganization of the Democratic National Committee, DNC chairman David Wilhelm recently announced the appointmentsof African-Americans to top staff positions. Wilhelm, who succeeded Ronald Brow, now Secretary of Commerce, *as the CEOof the Democratic Party, said the new appointments “bring to • ( the Democratic National Committee a unique blend of professional experience, activism and commitment to serving the needs and interests of the American

people.”

TheAfrican-American appointments included: Minyon Moore, assistant to the chairman for voter education, training and public liaison; Carol Willis, senior advisor to the chairman; Ceandra Scott, executive assistant to the chairman; Matthew Mickey Williams, comptroller; Lisa M.

Journal

A new journal, Mutllrl:N]aranda ya Mikarlre or Journal of Culture, written entirely in the African language of Kikuyu and edited by New York University novelist, dramatist and essayist Ngugi wa Thiong'o represents the first systematicattempttocreateamodem literature in what the writer calls "new/old languages,” or old languages with only recent literary traditions, such as Kamba, Hausa, Wolof, Yoruba, Maasai and many others in and outside Africa. “It is part of a new idea, a historic moment," said Ngugi. “Many branches of modem knowledge in the world today have come to be dominated by the issue of language and yet the 20th century has seen the near total dismissal of African languages as adequate vehicles for modem literature, philosophy and science. The hope is to create a model for the literary revival of those languages, often rich in orally transmitted cultures and knowledge but usually denied a literary and political voice in the world today.” The journal's first issue is now available. Mu/uri, which will publish three times a year, includes stories, poems and essays in their original Kikuyu, as well as pieces translated from other African and world

languages.

Editorial address for the journal is Mutiiri, Department of Comparative Literature, NYU, 19 University Place, 4th Floor, New

York, New York 10003.

Continued from A1 Africa, and need not fear Black

vengeance.

A key part of Mandela’s reconciliation campaign is an amnesty law his government proposed last week. The law would grant amnesty to anyone—whether they fought for or against the apartheid system of racial segregation — who confessed to political crimes committed before

Dec. 3 of last year.

For Mandela’s African National Congress, that might mean freeing the two white men convicted of the April, 1993 assassination of Chris Hani, one of the movement’s most

popular leaders.

Hartzenberg has pushed for a later cutoff date, so that the amnesty could include more than 30 white extremists arrested in connection with bombings that killed 21 people. The spate of bombings ended April 27, when police arrested most of the suspects. Mandela said amnesty was needed to allow South Africa to move forward, but stressed Tuesday his government would try to balance the need for forgiveness
