Redouble the Blood. So far, Britain has shown no sign that it will abandon plans to withdraw its 14,000-man garrison—despite the pleas of South Arabia's Foreign Minister, Sheik Mohammed Farid, who was in London last week asking for at least a token British force to guarantee the peace. Plainly worried about Nasser's intentions, the U.S. State Department warned against "unprovoked aggression" in Aden. A three-man United Nations team is to arrive later this month to explore ways to smooth Aden's road to independence. But FLOSY's Mackawee for one has already pledged to "redouble the bloodshed" unless the U.N. mission recognizes his organization as the only representative of the people. Since the other nationalists are unlikely to accept this solution, Aden appears headed for further convulsions.
