On this day, 28 years ago, on December 25, 1997 (November 26, 1997 in the lunar calendar), Kaunda, the "father of the country of Zambia", was arrested. David Kaunda At 6 a.m. on 25, 1997, about 80 Zambian paramilitary police officers armed with AK-47 assault rifles suddenly surrounded Kaunda's residence in Lusaka, former Zambian President and Chairman of the United National Independence Party of Zambia, and subsequently arrested the "father of the country" with a 27-year history of governance. According to Kaunda's spokesperson, about 10 plainclothes police officers stormed Kaunda's room and claimed to have something to ask Kaunda. Kaunda's two assistants and six lawyers were also taken away with Kaunda. The spokesman expects that Zambian President Chiluba will soon sign an order to arrest Kaunda. Chiluba has the authority to do so under Zambia's emergency law that came into effect after an attempted military coup on October 28. This matter immediately attracted the attention of all parties in Zambia. Chitambala, deputy secretary of the United National Independence Party, said that the party's Central Committee will immediately convene a meeting to discuss countermeasures for this matter. According to analysis, Kaunda's arrest is closely related to Zambia's attempted coup in October. On October 28, some Zambian soldiers launched a coup, but troops loyal to Chiluba quickly took control of the situation and thwarted the coup. Chiluba then decided to implement a state of emergency law across the country, allowing coup suspects to be detained for 24 hours before being charged and tried. Zambian government forces have also launched a nationwide search for suspected coup suspects. Chiluba said on October 30 that some dignitaries in Zambia may be the planners behind the coup. It is believed that Chiluba's remarks were in response to a previous accusation made by Wina, the National Chairman of the Multi-Party Democratic Movement, against Kaunda. After the coup was defeated, Wiener said that Kaunda might have been involved in the coup because Kaunda had said on the eve of the coup that if the ruling party did not engage in serious dialogue with the opposition parties on domestic political issues, the situation in Zambia would soon appear. There would be an "explosion". Kaunda left Zambia on the eve of the coup, returning home just three days before he was arrested. After Kaunda was arrested, Kaunda's spokesman stated that the United National Independence Party had no connection with the coup and that Kaunda's arrest was entirely the result of a personal feud between Chiluba and Kaunda. Kaunda was born in Chinsali County, Northern Province of Zambia in 1924. Since his youth, he has devoted himself to the struggle against colonial rule and for national independence. In 1946, he participated in the founding of the African National Congress of Northern Rhodesia (formerly known as Zambia), withdrew from the party in 1958, and formed another African National Congress of Zambia and served as chairman. After the African National Congress of Zambia was banned in March 1959, Kaunda was exiled by the colonial authorities and released in November of the same year. Since January 1960, he has served as chairman of the United National Independence Party. After Zambia became independent on October 24, 1964, Kaunda became the first president and has since been elected president in many general elections. During his tenure, Kaunda was committed to the cause of unity and unity in Africa. He served as Chairman of the Organization of African Unity and Chairman of the Frontline Countries in Southern Africa. Chairman of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1970 to 1973. In a multi-party election held in Zambia in 1991, Kaunda lost to incumbent President Chiluba. On February 4, 2007, President Hu Jintao met with former Zambian President Kaunda in Lusaka
