Kaunda goes on hunger strike

Dr Kaunda, who returned to Zambia last Monday after an almost two-month overseas trip, is being held under a 28-day police detention order.

Leaked information has allegedly linked Kaunda to the failed military coup plot on October 28.

The chairman of Kaunda’s United National Independence Party announced that it had pulled out of the inter-party talks between the Government and Opposition parties scheduled for January 10.
