YOUR TELNO 550: QUOTE TRAINING FOR ZAMBIAN PARAMILITARY POLICE
UNQUOTE
1. FURSDON HAS BEEN ON LEAVE AND WE HAVE ONLY JUST RECEIVED HIS FULL REPORT (COPY TO YOU BY NEXT BAG). WE WILL CONSIDER NEXT STEPS FOLLOWING VISIT BY INSPECTOR GENERAL WHO IS DUE TO SEE BOTH
FURSDON AND MACOUN. AFTER THIS WE WILL CONSIDER YOUR IDEA OF A SERIOUS TALK WITH PHIRI. FURSDON HIMSELF RECOMMENDS THAT WE SHOULD
AWAIT THE REVISED ZAMBIAN WORKING PAPER ON THE ROLES AND TRAINING
OF THE PARAMILITARY UNIT AND THE I G'S VISIT BEFORE FURTHER ACTION. HE FORESEES A FOLLOW UP JOINT (M A O AND HONG KONG POLICE) STUDY OR CONSULTANCY AT STAFF LEVEL TO GIVE SOME ADVICE AND ASSESS TRAINING AND EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS AS THE NEXT STAGE. ONLY THEN WILL WE NEED TO DECIDE WHAT HELP WE CAN AND SHOULD PROVIDE.
2. YOUR SUGGESTION THAT THE ZAMBIANS MAY WISH TO CREATE A
CRACK COUNTER-COUP FORCE IS DISTURBING AND WE SHALL HAVE TO
CONSIDER OUR ATTITUDE CAREFULLY ALTHOUGH WE AGREE THAT IT IS IMPORTAN
NOT TO TURN DOWN OUT OF HAND THE ZAMBIAN REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE,
