Among these, often violent, events was allegation of external forces which wanted to provoke a civil war among blacks & whites of South Africa. This while South Africa still, likely, had nuclear weapons. The Apartheid government has since dismantled it's nuclear weapons, doing so just before losing power to the "government of national unity". How would this racial civil war play out today?
