South African white-black line
could be blurred blood red

Daily Nebraskan Staff Reporter
Racial tensions in South Africa
could throw the United States
into another Vietnam-type war,
according to a UNL political sci
ence professor and "African spe
cialist." Louis Picard said because South
Africa is strategically important
to the United States, the U.S.
government would probably send
troops into the area if South Afri
ca's predominantly white govern
ment was threatened by a revo
lution. Picard, who recently returned
from a trip to South Africa, said
revolution is possible there be
cause the government practices
apartheid, the legal segregation
of races. The government is con
trolled by whites. Blacks, the ma
jority people, are excluded from
political activities.
In his apartheid studies, Picard
observed "homelands," rural black
areas in South Africa. Homelands
cover 13 percent of the continent
and hold 80 percent of the Afri
can black population, Picard said.
Picard is studying the political
control South African government
has over these homelands.
Picard said chances for a
peaceful end to apartheid are
"slim," but possible. He said

persuasion and international in
fluence (mainly Western) could
bring change.
Some African groups are al
ready "using violent actions to
help end apartheid practices.
One anti-apartheid group, the
African National Congress, is re
sponsible for about a dozen bomb
ings and sabotage events per
month, Picard said. These events
are not frequent now, but they
could escalate into "something
like we saw in Vietnam," he said.
The recent announcement that
South African Qishop Desmond
Tutu had won the Nobel Peace
Prize will temporarily ease some
tension, Picard said.
"The Tutu prize will act as a
catalyst," he said. "It will bring
many diverse groups together
temporarily, both violent and
non-violent groups."
Picard is internationally known
for his African studies. Besides
publishing articles in several
periodicals and co-authoring a
book, he will address the Interna
tional Political Science meeting
next summer in Paris.
The UNL professor has traveled
to 17 African countries since his
first visit in 1965, when he joined
the Peace Corps after graduating
from college. He's been back sev
eral times teaching, research
ing and learning more about
African culture.
