COFFEE Hungry Jack BISCUITS 00 by David Friedman NEW YORK (JTA)—A member of Kenya’s Parliament predicted recently that his country and most other Black African countries would resume diplomatic relations with Israel after Egypt and Israel exchange ambassadors on Feb. 26. But the MP, Abdallah Mwidau, said he could not estimate when the resumption of relations would actually begin. Mwidau, who spoke to a leadership group of the North American Jewish Students’ Network, stressed that he was speaking for himself and not his government. He arrived in the United States after three days in Israel and is making a three-week speaking tour of the U.S. under the auspices of the Youth Institute for Peace in the Middle East. Kenya, which was one of the Black .African nations to break diplomatic relations with Israel in 1973, nevertheless has continued to maintain friendly ties with Israel. Kenya was used as a refueling base by Israel during its rescue of hostages in Entebbe, Uganda, in 1976. Mwidau said that the two countries have commercial and other ties and about IS students from Kenya are presently studying in Israel. He said that if the Nairobi government decided to resume diplomatic relations with Israel it m would have the overwhelming support of Parliament with perhaps only three or four votes against it. Mwidau indicated that when the majority of Black African nations broke diplomatic relation* with Israel in 1973 they expected to receive economic benefit* from the Arab oil producing states. “Most African countries do not benefit from the Arab countries,” he declared. "The same price they sell oil to you (U.S.) they sell to Kenya.” He pointed out that the high oil prices and the world inflation which has hiked the prices of imports has especially hurt Kenya and other Black African nations. "They (the Arabs) do not invest in our country,” Mwidau declared. He said sail of the investments in Black Africa are by the U.S., Britain, other Western countries and Israel Mwidau, a Moslem, urged Jews not to look on all Moslems as their enemies. He said the Arabs are using Islam as a weapon, but "we African Moslems are not enemies of the Jewish community” and of Israel. He said that Jews, Moslems and Christians should join together in improving conditions for Africa. He said that if a Jewish community or organization would provide scholarships for Kenyan Children to study in the U.S. or Israel this would have more effect than propaganda or international aid programs. Mwidau, the former mayor of Mombasa, one of Kenya’s major cities, said that he has always been j a friend of the Jewish community in Kenya and of Israel. There are an estimated 400 Jews in Kenya out of a total population of 14,340,000. He said that on his visit to Israel last week he felt at home. “I didn’t feel I was in a foreign country,” he said. He spoke of praying at the A1 Aqsa Mosque last Friday and how “happy” he was to see it was well taken care of. He also mentioned his delight at seeing Arab and Jewish children playing together in Jerusalem. Jerusalem must never be divided, Mwidau said. He said Mecca is governed by a single country and Jerusalem should have only one government responsible for its administration, namely, Israel. Israeli soldiers build film set JERUSALEM (ZINS)—Twenty Israeli Army engineers welded 110 tons of steel into a new seige ramp, strong enough to support a specially-built gargantuan Roman seige tower weighing 14 tons. What the Israeli Army accomplished in two weeks, took j$cJ&P9Miiarmy and thousands of slaves two years to build. The ramp is to be used in filming of Massadas Second Seige. The, highly-acclaimed script is based on Ernest Gann’s "The Antagonists” and on Roman historian Josephus Flavius' account of the zealots, resistance, and eventual mass suicide.
