 Why is Umluana speaking Dutch to Read and Rashid in the beginning?
Sergeant Rashid handed Premier Umluana the warrant. Umluana was a small man with wrinkled brow, glasses and a mustache. Umluana turned back to Rashid a second too soon.

Read went through six months training on Madagascar. Rather than resign, he accepted punishment which assigned him to weeks of dull, filthy extra labor. Umluana took control of Belderkan in 1979. He began a propaganda war against neighboring South Africa, promising the liberation of that strife-torn land. China called the uproar a vicious slur on a new African nation. Umluana was defying world law.
