| Description | Cartoon shows a large black pot (labeled "Congo") over a fire labeled "Chinese Reds." The contents, boiling over, are labeled "Economic Chaos" and "Political Unrest." The caption comes from the witches chant in Macbeth. In the 1960s, the former Belgian Congo (later known as Zaire) was torn by wars between various factions, some supported by the Communists and some by the West. One group was aided by a large contingent of Chinese from their embassy in Burundi. The cartoonist blames the Chinese for the turmoil. |
