约书亚·恩科莫

Joshua Nkomo was one of the principal political and insurgent leaders in the long struggle against white-minority rule in Rhodesia. His importance lies in building and leading the Zimbabwe African People's Union, competing and cooperating with rival nationalist movements, and helping turn a colonial constitutional crisis into an armed liberation war with regional consequences. The conflict in Zimbabwe was never driven by one leader alone, and Nkomo remained central to its coalition politics. He embodied both the necessity and the instability of coalition anti-colonial struggle.
