Plus, last year in an ambush, Frelimo killed two South African engineers and captured a vehicle containing maps, charts, diagrams and equipment to be used on Cabora Bassa. The South Africans were furious. The South African engineering company withdrew its engineers and said "The Portuguese are incapable of protecting us." They requested and received more South African troops at Cabora Bassa to supplement the Portuguese garrison.

When the Republicans pulled out, Premier Emilio Colombo resigned from office, and Italy since then has been without effective government. President Giovanni Leone asked Colombo to try to form a new one. When he finally admitted failure, Leone turned to yet another Christian Democrat, Giulio Andreotti, the party's floor leader in the Chamber of Deputies...
