FOR FURTH
MEW RACIST INVASION OF ANGOLA
On 23 August 1981 a massive force of South Africans crossed
from Namibia into Angola. For a year they have been occupying large tracts of southern Angola.
Now, operating both from this area and from Namibia, which
it also illegally occupies in defiance of international law,
South Africa has launched a new invasion. The aim is to move
north in an attempt to repeat its invasion of 197516, when
its forces reached to within 150 miles of the Angolan capital
Luanda .
South Africa has once again shown its complete.contempt for
the sovereignity of African states. In particular the new
invasion appears aimed at sabotaging a new series of talks
intended to secure an end to South Africa's illegal occupation of Namibia.
What has been the response of Britain, the United States,
and other major western powers to South Africa's aggression
and the Namibian people's struggle for self-determination?
What are they doing to get South African troops out of Angola
and Namibia? Strangely all their attention is focussed not on
the South African forces but on the Cubans in Angola who came
at the invitation of the Angolan Government to help repel the
1975/6 South African invasion. It is now said that the independence of Namibia has to be "linked" to the withdrawal of
Cuban forces from Angola! The United States in particular
appears to almost inciting the South Africans into blocking
a settelement in Namibia by advocating such "linkage", and
last September gave the South Africans the 'green light' to
continue their invasion of Angola by vetoing a UN Security
Council resolution.
But other western powers are also guilty. They have repeatedly blocked measures, including sanctions, designed to
compel South Africa to end its illegal occupation of Namibia.
All who oppose apartheid and support the struggle for African
freedom are urged to mobilise for:
