Committee of One Million's connections to lobby American politicians and he lamented he "had lost control to a bunch of jerks". After he pulled the Committee of One Million out of the Congress, he began to receive death threats from the OUN members calling him a "Jew Bolshevik". In the 1960s, Liebman's interests started to shift from Asia to Africa. He was the founder of the American Committee for Aid to Katanga Freedom Fighters (ACAKFF), which announced its existence on 14 December 1961 with a full page ad in The New York Times declaring "Katanga is the Hungary of 1961". The ad declared: "In resisting the UN aggression, the people of Katanga are the true Freedom Fighters not only for their own liberties, but for the cause of world freedom".

To off-set the charge of racism as many felt the break-away state of Katanga was a front for Belgian mining companies, Liebman had a black man, Max Yergan, appointed president of the ACAKFF. In 1965, the self-governing British colony of Southern Rhodesia under the leadership of Ian Smith illegally declared independence as Smith's government was opposed to British plans to grant independence under the basis of color-blind franchise, which would have allowed the black majority to vote. To support Rhodesia, Liebman founded in 1966 the American African Affairs Association (AAAA). The AAAA was virtually the same organization as the ACAKFF with both groups having Yergan as president, virtually identical letter-heads, the same mailing lists, and same address in New York, 79 Madison, which was also the headquarters of Marvin Liebman Associates. At the same time, it was revealed that the Rhodesian government had hired the firm of Marvin Liebman Associates to improve its image in the United States. Starting in 1966, Liebman organized tours of Rhodesia for conservative journalists who wrote articles declaring the black majority were a
