Africa's independence explosion will continue to have repercussions in the U.N. for some time to come. By the end of this year, four new African members will be admitted, Togo, which has just won formal independence, Somalia, Cameroon and Nigeria. British Tanganyika and the Belgian Congo have been promised independence. By 1970, the African continent may swell the ranks of the U.N. to a hundred members. Some Western statesmen predict that new members will join the anti-colonial Afro-Asian bloc, which together with the nine-nation Soviet group will then constitute an indisputable majority.
