ETHIOPIA

ERITREAN OFFICIAL ON UNIFICATION OF FACTIONS
GF021212 Doha QNA in Arabic 0830 GMT 2 Jun 82

[Text] Abu Dhabi, 2 Jun (QNA)--Ramadan Mohamed Nour, secretary general of
the Popular Front for the Liberation of Eritrea [EPLF], has reiterated his
call for the unification of all fighting Eritrean groups in order to work
for the achievement of a comprehensive national unity among the children
of the Eritrean people and in order to accomplish the right to self-deter-
mination and national independence.

The Eritrean official, who is currently visiting the UAE, said: "We con-
sider national unity a fundamental issue and a strategic question, whether
for the purpose of fighting against the Ethiopian enemy or on the level of
the future of Eritrea."

He indicated that efforts are underway to unite the groups of the Eritrean
revolution in the fighting arena and in political action. [words indis-
tinct]

In a statement published in AL-WAHDAH here today, the Eritrean official
said that the Arab League's efforts to unite the various resistance groups
during 1981 succeeded to a certain extent, as far as foreign policy and
military actions are concerned, but this did not last for more than 6
months, following which fighting broke out between the Popular Front for
the Liberation of Eritrea and the Revolutionary Council due to a disagree-—
ment on negotiating with Ethiopia, particularly with regard to the issue
of autonomy. He indicated that the Popular Front rejects the autonomy
that was proposed by Ethiopia and insists on the right to self-determina-
tion.

[Text] Sierra Leone was among 590 delegates and guests from 90 countries
attending a world conference on "Religious workers for saving the sacred
gift of life from nuclear catastrophe" held in Moscow, USSR recently.

Rev Jeremiah Pratt, one of two Sierra Leonean churchmen who attended the

different religions to meet and discuss the problem of vital concern for
all people of the planet: the preservation and consolidation of peace.

The other delegate was Canon Harry Sawyerr.

Speaking to correspondents in Moscow, Rev Pratt said "The conference launched
a fervent appeal to safeguard peace by promoting understanding among coun-
tries and peoples.

"We have discussed how to prevent a nuclear catastrophe and adopted resolu-

negotiate disarmament problems,"

Delving on the relations between the USSR and Sierra Leone, Rev Pratt noted
their friendly character and expressed appreciation for the USSR's aid in

UNDP CHIEF LEAVES COUNTRY IMPRESSED

Gaborone DAILY NEWS in English 10 May 82 p 2

[Article by Bapasi Mphusul

[text]

_THE ASSISTANT Admi-
nistrator of the United Nations
Development Programme
(UNDP), Mr Doo Kingue left
Botswana on Wednesday with
high impressions on how
Botswana manages its economic
development.

Mr Kingue, who was visiting
Botswana at the invitation of the
Government said in an interview
with BOPA: “It is my very great
satisfaction to notice that the
government of Botswana
manages very well its economy
and have very well organised
priorities.”

The administrator is also the
UNDP Regional Director for
Africa incharge of the manage-
ment of UNDP supported
activities in 43 African countries
except Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia,
Libya, Sudan, Egypt and Djibouti.

Mr Doo Kingue said that it was
a delight for the UNDP to deal
with a country like Botswana
and assured continued support
by the UNDP for Botswana,

He pointed. out that he was
‘Pleased that the UNDP-
supported projects in Botswana

‘are bringing a significant
contribution to the development
of the country.”

“All these projects impress me
for the impact they are facing in
the development of the economy
of your country,” said Mr Doo
Kingue.

The projects visited by Mr Doo
Kingue included the Botswana
Institute of Administration and
Commerce (BIAC), the Agri-

CSO: 4700/1396

cultural Research Station at
Sebele and the Soil Mapping
project. He also visited the Rice
Project in Maun for which there
is a UNDP volunteer and the
Okavango Delta.

In addition to the UNDP
bilateral cooperation with
Botswana, the UNDP official said:
“We have committed ourselves
to intensity and increase our
cooperation with the nine
member countries of the
Southern African Development
Coordination Conference
(SADCC).”

Mr Doo Kingue’s impressions
about the management of the
economic development of
Botswana resulted from his visits
to some of the UNDP supported
projects and the discussions with
leaders of the country.

He met with President DrQ.K.J.
\Masire, three cabinet ministers,
Dr G. Chiepe of Mineral
Resources and Water Affairs, Mr
Washington Meswele of
Agriculture and the Minister of
Finance and Development
Planning, Mr Peter Mmusi.

He described the Finance
Minister as the UNDP contact of
the UNDP Resident Repre-
sentative in Gaborone.

With Mr Mmusi he held two
meetings reviewing all aspects
of UNDP-Botswana cooperation.
According to Mr Doo Kingue the
second meeting was a round up
after visiting and meeting other

ministers and seeing UNDP

supported projectsin Gaborone.
He said that his meetings with
ministers enabled him to discuss

BOTSWANA

specific problems concerning the
development of departments
which the ministers were
incharge of.

Explaining the reasons for his
visit Mr Doo Kingue said that he
was here to discuss with the
Government the status of
UNDP-Botswana cooperation
and also assess how relevant the
cooperation was to the needs of
Batswana.

He added that he was
consulting with the Government
‘on overall cooperation between
UNDP and African and parti-
cularly on aspects of the co-
operation concerning southern
Africa.

“As you know Botswanais the
headquarters of SADCC, an
organisation, the creation of
which we very well welcome,”
Mr Doo Kingue said.

In addition to the management
of UNDP supported activities in
43 African countries Mr Doo
Kingue said that he was also
responsible for cooperation
between UNDP and all the
continental bodies like the
Organisation African Unity,
Economic Commission for
Africa.

Also, he added, he was
responsible for the inter-
governmental organisations
which have sub-regional and
regional responsibilities like
SADCC and the Economic
Community for West African
States (ECOWAS), and the
African Development Bank and
the Arab Bank for African
Development.



So? Zaire deplores the reactions in African capitals following its decision

to reestablish diplomatic relations with the state of Israel. So much naive
candor or spineless cowardice combined with such inconsistency will not convince
anyone to take Africa seriously, this poor discredited Africa which does not
know whether it should prefer the carrot or the stick, accept the carrot or
animal food, or choose between the plague and cholera.

Zaire observes with sadness the puerile self-confidence of those who yesterday
would howl about colonialism or showed the slightest evidence of real or imagined
interference, yet today, in face of massive interference by the Arabs in the
policy of a sovereign state, can find nothing to say other than to fall into
step behind the slave trader with the whip and the turban.

Did we fight European colonialism and neocolonialism only to bow our heads to
the yoke of Arab neo-slavery?

Did we stand up to the formidable embassies of the industrial powers only to
bow today before the intimidation and pressures of turbaned emissaries now

criss-crossing Africa?

Finally, is it now acceptable for a worthy son of Africa, for a sovereign state,
to go along with the disgraceful underhanded dealing which they are proposing
under the slogan of Arab-African solidarity, a slogan with which they have been
deafening us since 25 April? Moreover, what kind of solidarity are they talking
about? The Zairian people are not deceived. We conclude from the reaction we
have been hearing that Arab-African solidarity is a delusion, a trap for idiots.
What they are trying to impose on us with this solidarity is the fine tactic of
the locomotive and the freight cars, the Arab countries being the locomotive
and we the wagons.

In this link-up, where we would have no initiative: when the engine stopped, the
cars would stop, and when the engine started again, the cars would blindly fol-
low down the rails. There were still some under the illusion that Zaire was a
freight car. We disproved that satisfactorily in the recent past when we did
not bend our knees in respect to American aid. The despicable petrodollar
maneuver which has taken place before our eyes will be no more successful.
Zaire's policy is not chained tothe barrel. Zaire announces this at the top
of its voice while others think it, but do not have the courage to say it.

Those countries should keep in mind that Arab "reprisals" against those whom
they consider to be a threat to their interests seem strangely to be directed
only against a black state. Around the world, dozens of countries manage to
deal with the goat and the cabbage, they maintain good relations with both the
Jewish cabbage and the Arab goat without incurring any kind of "sanction." On
the other hand, the Arabs pour out the flood of their petrodollars to these
countries, making huge investments there, constructing or buying hotels, palaces,
and mansions, locating factories, etc. It is no secret that the good relations
which these countries continue to have with Israel--often selling its arms or
war-related technology--have never caused the slightest sneeze or frown among
the Arab countries, whether those of the Gulf or elsewhere. However, a black
state has only to stand up to affirm its independence for the old slave trader

Gatsha Challenged

Mbabane THE TIMES OF SWAZILAND in English 2 Jun 82 pp 1, 10

[excerpt]

WEN a bitter attack
‘on kwaZulu leader
Gatsha Buthelezi,
the official spoke-
_sman for the Swa-
zi nation yesterday.
set the record
straight on the bo-
rder adjustment
issue.

The kwaZulu leader
Jast week took his ent-
ire cabinet, legislative
assembly and a conti-
gent of South African
journalists to a series
‘of meetings in the
‘Ngwavuma area.

In the meetings, the
ichiefs of the Matsenjwa,
Mngomezulu, Nyawo and
Tembe are reported to have
-expressed their loyalty to
the kwaZulu - homeland
" administration.

‘. But yesterday,
Swaziland, through a
statement by Dr. George
Msibi, gave facts of the

“matter. _ -

cso: 4700/1397

~ Ina hard-hitting response
Dr. Msibi accused Buthelezi
* of intimidating the chiefs
“and? people inthe
‘Ngwavuma area.
He challenged Gatsha to
_ complete his itinerary of the
' Ngwavuma with a visit to
| Ndzevane where, he said,
‘over 15,000 people who fled
from the Buthelezi-inspired
terror are ‘now settled as
"refugees.
"Dr. Msibi also challenged
‘the kwaZulu leader to tell
the world about — the
shootings and killings he
(Gatsha) conducted when
he “tried to force and
subject our people to his
bantustan plan.”
“We cannot blame you
“Gatsha for, you had been
slavishly pushing —_ the
bantustan plans of your
masters. But alas! it is your
\ ‘masters who, now in the
Mace of reality would like to
‘undo those plans,” said Dr.
Msibi..

He charged: ‘You were
given and you received the
land you knew full well
never belonged to Natal or
Zululand.”

Dr. Msibi said all the

49

Swazi chiefs in — the
Ngwavuma. including the
Tembes never fought in the
Zulu wars. — Ngwanazi,
Mbikiza, Mtshelekwane
and Sambane were never
part of Natal or Zululand.””

Claim

On a claim that King
Dingane’s grave is up to this

| day in the Ngwavuma area

because it is Zulu territory,
Dr. Msibi said Dingane died
there as a refugee after
running away from his own
people.

He stated: ‘There is no
history of Dingane dying
at his own kraal. And there
is. no kraal that ever was for
Dingane or any other Zulu
king for that matter in the
Ngwavuma area.””

During last. week’s
meetings at Newavuma, the
chiefs and their followers
were reported to have said
they regarded themselves as
Zulus and not Swazis.

: They are reported to have
«rejected plans to return the
trans-Phongola _ territories
to Swaziland. There is a
population of about 80,000
Swazis in this region.

FREE GERMAN YOUTH PRAISED AT GDR PICTURE EXHIBITION
Accra DAILY GRAPHIC in English 24 May 82 pp 4-5

[text] A week-long picture exhibition on the history and development of
the Free German Youth, the national youth movement of the German Democratic
Republic (GDR), has opened in Accra at the Exhibition Hall of the Ghana
Library Board.

The exhibition was mounted by the Ghana/GDR Friendship Society in conjunction
with the GDR Embassy in Accra,

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Zaya Yeebo, PNDC Secretary for Youth and Sports,
regretted the disbandment of the Ghana Young Pioneers Movement by the
National Liberation Council government after the 1966 coup.

He said the action dealt a deadly blow to the efforts of the country to
develop an anti-imperialist youth movement,

The Secretary noted that the movement spearheaded the mobilisation of young
people for industrial, agricultural, social and cultural projects as a
means of preparing them for their future role as dedicated and responsible
citizens.

Mr Zaya Yeebo said the government has plans to mobilise the youth who form
about 60 percent of the population, for the task of national reconstruction,

In this connection, the National Youth Organising Commission had been
charged with the establishment of a mss national democratic youth movement
within six months from last March 3,

Mr Yeebo said unemployed youth and existing youth organisations in the
country would be brought under the newly formed Youth and Students Task
Force at the start of the mass democratic youth movement,

Ms Ama Ata-Aidoo PNDC, Secretary for Education, who opened the exhibition

called for effective mobilisation of the Ghanaian youth to make their
impact felt in the nation reconstruction efforts.

SIERRA LEONE

MEMBERSHIP IN ISLAMIC DEVELOPMENT BANK REPORTED
Freetown DAILY MAIL in English 28 May 82 pp 1, 7

[text] Sierra Leone has become the 42nd member of the Islamic Development
Bank, 1

This followed the recommendation of the Board of Executive Directors and the
Board of Governors of the Bank at a meeting presenting being held in Turkey.

The Minister of Finance, Mr Salia Jusu Sheriff in thanking the Board of
Governors on behalf of the Government for accepting Sierra Leone's admission
to the Bank, assured the meeting that the government and people of this
country highly appreciated the importance and obligation that go with such
membership.

He noted with delight that when Sierra Leone indicated her intention to assume
full membership of the Bank the President of the Bank and his staff responded
with remarkable speed and effectiveness.

He added that their effort had ensured the presence of his delegation at the
meeting.

Sierra Leone, the Minister said, was fully aware of the ideals and aspirations
that inspired the founder members of the Islamic Development Bank.

He affirmed that the case of the least developed of the developing countries
to which Sierra Leone belongs could not be better presented than has been
done by Dr Ahmad Mohamed Ali, President and Chairman of the Board of Executive
Directors in his review of the international economic perspectives and its
impact on member countries.

Mr Jusu-Sheriff was confident that with such a case so convincingly presented
in the Sixth Annual report there would be understanding and support of the
Bank, in our effort to improve our overall economic situation.

The Minister spoke of the reluctance and hesitance of the mjor industrialised

countries to meet the targets set for aid and the transfer of resources to
the least developed countries,

African Complacency
Kinshasa ELIMA in French 23-24 May 82 p 2

[Text] Since 14 May, the date of the announcement of Zaire's resumption of
diplomatic relations with Israel, not a day has passed without our receiving

in Kinshasa reactions to the Zairian decision, reactions from sources disapprov—
ing of our country's affirmation of its sovereignty.

Until then, there had been no reaction by either the government or the Zairian
press. The president of the Zaire Republic had asked the latter to refrain
from any polemic with the media or foreign sources disapproving of the Zairian
initiative.

However, the agitation abroad about the initiative has assumed the scale of

a full-blown brainwashing campaign which might mislead the public in the Third
World and Africa, and we are thus forced to reply in order to provide the real
scope and meaning of the principles and events.

This was why the head of state, on his return from Gemena where he attended

the ceremony marking the 11th anniversary of his wife's death, called a meeting
with the manager of AZAP at his Camp Tshatshi residence to give him his thoughts
about the reactions to our decision to renew diplomatic relations with Israel.

It is the view of the president of the Zaire Republic that no state in the
world has the right to prevent Zaire, a free and independent state, from freely
determining its foreign policy, thereby fully exercising its national and inter-
national sovereignty. This sovereignty was publicly and solemnly affirmed on
4 October 1973 when through the voice of their president the Zairian people
announced at the United Nations the breaking of relations with Israel. This
sovereign decision was dictated by the Jewish state's occupation of African
territory in Egypt. Zaire, reacting to this occupation of part of African
‘territory, at that time unilaterally and publicly broke off relations with
Israel. The international public will recall that it was made clearly under-
stood that this situation would last as long as Israel's occupation of African
territory in Egypt continued to affront African dignity and the rights of
African peoples to their own land.

At that time there had been praise, with a surfeit of superlatives, not only
of Zaire's political awareness and analytic skill, but also the courage and
foresight of its guide.

As of 25 April 1982, pursuing the same logic and with the same consistency,
Zaire announced through the voice of its leader that the reasons which had
caused it to break relations with Israel had now disappeared since the Jewish
occupation had ended, and the African territory of Egypt had been recovered by
that fraternal country. It is noted also that in Zaire's historic stand in 1973
there was never any reference to Arab territory but only the African térritoky

of Egypt, which is also an Arab state, and’ that was clearly: stréssed.~7 3

[Article by Adewale Fatona]

[Text] Harare, 9 Jun (NAN)--The ongoing fighting between Mozambican govern-
ment troops (FRELIMO) and insurgents of the Mozambican National Resistance
(MNR) is sending a steady stream of refugees across the border into Zimbabwe.

The Harare correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
at present, about 400 Mozambicans fleeing from the fighting zone are camped
at Chibgwedzia, Zimbabwe. The refugees, mostly from the Gaza Province of
Mozambiqmuen said that they were fleeing from the fighting between FRELIMO
soldiers and terrorists of the South African-backed MNR. The Mozambicans
arrived with their scanty belongings on wooden sledges and now have about
2,000 cattle in their camp.

According to reports the refugees, mostly women and children, live under
insanitary conditions and their men sell their cattle to local people to
raise money for maize and other staple foods.

One of the refugees, Chitanga Kasawaé, showed bullet scars on his arms and
said that he had been shot by the terrorists after they had accused him of
lying about whether his son was in the people's militia. They then abducted
his son, he said.

A local Zimbabwean official confirmed that the influx of refugees began in
January this year, and that about 100 of them were now in the area. The
Chiredzi District administrator, [words indistinct] that blankets and food
had been given to the refugees by the Department of Social Services.

One official said that a state of war exists in the province. A decision
is still to be taken by the Zimbabwean prime minister's office on the
status of the refugees.

During the liberation war in Zimbabwe, Mozambique accommodated thousands of
Zimbabwean tefugees. The two countries have very good relations. Both
have a security pact under which one is obliged to come to the defense of
the other inthe event of external aggression. Zimbabwe has also pledged
to help Mozambique to fight the rebels.

The Zimbabwe-Mozambique border in the southeast is heavily guarded to
prevent the insurgents from setting up bases inside Zimbabwe.

reflex to be revived from the past and the holy war declared. We find it dif-
ficult to understand how all the countries of the world have the right to
cooperate freely with whomever they wish, including Israel, with the exception
of the black African states. If that is Arab-African solidarity, then Zaire can
only say no to what it regards as a masquerade and a fool's bargain.

Some day, perhaps far off, but at any rate some day, when the eyes of the
African peoples are finally opened, they will realize that Zaire was right in
not being afraid, today as yesterday, to be alone in saying out loud what others
were only thinking to themselves. Come what may.

MASUKU, DABENGWA STILL DENIED ACCESS TO LAWYERS

Harare THE HERALD in English 8 Jun 82 p 3

[text]

THE detained deputy commander of the National Army, Lieut
General Lookout Masuku, and the former head of ZIPRA, Mr
Dumiso Dabengwa, may not see their lawyers until a Supreme.

Court hearing on

the matter.

Making this ruling in
the High Court yesterday,
Mr Justice McNally said,
however, that the two
men’s wives could make
further application in the
court for this decision to
be reversed.

Last Wednesday the
fudge ruled that an order
‘signed by a senior police-
man preventing the de-
tained men from communi-
cating with lawyers was
unconstitutional and he
gave them access to their
attorneys.

This decision was sus-

ded when the State
lodged an appeal with the
Supreme Court after an
attorney had seen the
men. Oa Friday Mrs
Zodwa Dabengwa and Mrs
Gift Masuku applied for
High Court permission for
Jegal access‘to their hus-
bands pending the appeal.

Mr Justice McNally dis-
missed their application
but said they had the right
to reapply within three

weeks,
The Supreme Court

tomorrow or on Thursday,
but it is unlikely that the
State will be ready to re-
argue the case by then. In
that event, the hearing
will come up next month.

Mr Justice McNally said
he was concerned about
the fact that the State
was entitled, as it had
done, to bar the wives
from visiting their hus-
bands before the matter
came to court.

If they could not see
their lawyers either, the
only people the two. ex-
ZIPRA men would see for
some time would be State
officials,

Two - senior policemen,
Mr Geoffrey Hedges and
Mr Clive Arnold, swore
aff'lavits put before the
fudge alleging —that
“harm” had been done by
the one visit of a lawyer
to the men and that fur-
ther access would pre-
judice “the process of the
investigation and the ad-
ministration of justice’.

They also claimed that

the security of the State
and the “ juillity of
its eltizens”. was involved
to the “utmost degree”.

When two senior law
men and a Cabinet min-
ister (Dr Herbert Ushe-
wokunze) allude to the
risk to State security,
said the judge,.“I cannot
brush this astde”,

He said he did not be-
eve the detainees would
suffer “irreparable harm
or prejudice” if he turned
down their wives’ applica-
tion because the appeal
would be heard ahortly to
decide the matter finally.

There was a ger,
said the judge, of “moving
too fast rather than too
slowly”, __ .

All pupils on Youth Island without exception have been granted Cuban scholar-
ships which cover all their expenses.

They have a very strict, almost military, daily schedule, rising at 6:00 a.m,
At a parade in their school square they hoist their national and Cuban

flags while, standing to attention, they sing their own and the Cuban national
anthems,

Friendship Theme

After the morning parade, two columns are formed: one marches off to the
fields and the other to the classrooms.

There appear to be no disciplinary problems in the schools. The whole
theme of their training is the international working class movement and
friendship with Cuba.

A Namibian teacher explained: "Our pupils are here because they want to
be here, They want to learn so that later they can help develop their
countries, and our main problem is that they all want to be doctors or
engineers."

This reasoning is shared by all the teachers--once the "revolution" wins
in Namibia, the new government must not be faced with a lack of trained
cadres, as Cuba was in 1959, These "new Africans" are here to see that
there is no shortage of brainpower at that vital moment.

Own Newspapers

Jorge Martin, the Cuban director of a burgeoning SWAPO revolutionary school,
said: "It is important that our pupils do not feel like Cubans, but
Namibians. That is why we develop their own forms of culture like art,
singing and dancing."

They are taught in Spanish, but they all speak and study in their own
language, They regularly read their own newspapers, and at the SWAPO
school press clippings are pinned up from "Namibia Today", SWAPO's own
publication.

Each Sunday students can go into ‘the nearby town of Nueva Gerona, They
are given a little pocket money so that they can buy a cold soft drink or
an ice-cream, It is here they meet other Cuban children and youths.

The visitor's main impression is the apparent political determination shown
by the pupils. They have all completely memorised their political lessons
and have absolutely no doubt as to the rightness of their cause.

The first speaker was the permanent representative of SWAPO [South-West

The Cape Verde foreign minister, Silvino da Luz, followed.

Here is an excerpt from the SWAPO representative's speech:

[Begin recording in English with consecutive Spanish translation] We urge
all the movement's members to condemn, denounce and firmly reject the
Reagan administration's policies in terms of its purported policy of friend-
ship and alliance with the Nazi-like regime of Pretoria and because it is
carrying out reactionary, hostile and constant propaganda and disinforma-
tion plans against SWAPO. Ours are patriotic struggles of the oppressed
masses to liberate their beloved homelands. Therefore, we reject all
attempts to portray our movement as a party or to link our struggle to the
East-West conflict. We urge the meeting to do the same. SWAPO continues
to enjoy from international assistance, support and solidarity. We believe
this is so because our cause is just and legitimate. It is the cause of
self-determination, independence and national sovereignty. [end recording]

of speaking, we should point out that the president's 4 October 1973 speech was
even requested by some university research centers in the Arab World for use as
a basic reference in their studies on the entire subject of Arab-African cooper-
ation and solidarity. For to many observers of African politics, Zaire's stand
in New York was a strong demonstration, solemnly affirmed, of Afro-Arab solidar-
ity.

However, after the signing of the Camp David agreements between Egypt and Israel,
and particularly after Israel's withdrawal on 25 April from the Egyptian terri-
tory it had occupied since June 1967, the position Zaire had taken at the United
Nations had become obsolete, because it was now contradictory and even illogical.
The obstacle to reestablishment of relations with Israel had been removed,
particularly since General Mobutu had stressed in his UN speech in a clear and
percise way that the break in relations with the Jewish state would be continued
only as long as that country continued to occupy African territory belonging to
Egypt. Israel's annexation of part of Egypt's territory had always been de~-
nounced as an act which affronted the dignity of the African peoples and their:
right to their own soil.

This is why Zaire was overjoyed to see the Sinai restored to Egypt in accordance
with the spirit of the Camp David agreements. This joy was expressed in messages
sent by the MPR president-founder to the leaders of the two countries. Egypt
and Israel having restored normal relations, it became absurd for Zaire to

shun the Jewish state. That is why General Mobutu, faithful to his word and
seeing no further obstacle to the resumption of Zairian-Israeli relations, de-
cided, in the name of his people who fully support him, to renew relations with
that country.

It should also be pointed out that in renewing relations with Israel, Zaire does
not mean--as the decision of the Bureau of the Central Committee stresses——
rejection of the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people to have a
homeland. Our country therefore continues to recognize the PLO. The corner-
stones of Zaire's diplomacy are founded on principles of justice, equity, and
law. It is on the basis of these principles that Zaire recognizes the two
Germanys and the two Koreas.

However, what astonishment to learn that less than 24 hours after Zaire's
sovereign decision certain Arab countries were bustling about and shouting to
heaven and earth, even going so far as to liken the decision to high treason.
However, what high treason, and against whom?

Yet, as the president of the republic's views expressed to AZAP indicate, in

Zaire's 1973 decision it was never a question of Arab territories but only
African territories of Egypt, which is an African country and an OAU member,

64



though also an Arab state. Everyone knows, moreover, that all these "loud-
mouthed" Arabs had done nothing to help Egypt recover the annexed land. Their
reactions are thus unjustified, illogical, and even demented. Also demented
and ridiculous are the reactions of some African countries, which are behaving
like "Panurge's sheep" [Panurge: character in Rebelais' "Pantagruel"]. They are
revealing more and more that they are prepared to sell their dignity and so-
vereignty for ignoble interests. That is true of the African state which,

while condemning our decision, shamelessly declares its willingness to bargain
Israeli technical aid for Arab petrodollars. We can only deplore the attitude
of these fickle, inconsistent states which look out only for their own sometimes
humiliating interests. These countries do not have the courage to say out loud
what they are thinking to themselves, especially when they are telling everyone
that the Arabs have deceived them by not fulfilling their "good promises" and
by not granting them special prices for oil purchases.

General Mobutu is thus quite right when he says that some African states will
go so far as to mortgage their freedom for miscellaneous aid under virtually
unacceptable conditions.

Another deplorable fact is the unfortunate and sad concept which some Arab
banking circles have of the meaning of financial loans. These elements, which
have been revealed to be an instrument of Arab imperialism, speak about loans

to our country as if they were a gift. Even if they were a gift, which is cer-
tainly not the case for our country, are these banking circles justified in
sacrificing the financial issues on the altar of imperialist political interests?
Does this authorize them to interfere in the internal affairs of a client?

Are we to believe that there were conditions attached to the loans to Zaire

by these banking interests that affected our country's sovereignty?

These are some questions which evoke deceitful answers from these banking circles.
Though these reactions do not surprise or frighten us, they do serve as a lesson
to some Third World countries which are still under many illusions about these
financial institutions and the demagogic promises of most of the Arab countries.
Within the continent, all the fraternal countries will now understand that the
Arab-African solidarity we hear so much about is the perfect example of the
"engine pulling the cars" policy.

At any rate, as events have fully proved over almost 17 years, Gen Mobuto Sese
Seko is still the political genius, the prophetic guide, and the undisputed
leader who, with his exceptional courage, leads the Zairian people toward a
better future.

He is a leader who consulted only his people before taking the sovereign decision
to renew ties with Israel. All Zairians thus look to the future only with
serenity, optimism, and confidence. They know that our country is in the right.

The demented reactions of Arab imperialism and its African underlings do not
impress us. The dogs bark, and the caravan goes on.

ETHIOPIA

ELF-PLF CALLS ON EEC TO STOP AID TO ETHIOPIA
GF091305 Doha QNA in Arabic 0957 GMT 9 Jun 82

[Text] Mogadishu, 9 Jun (QNA)--Osman Saleh Sabbe, chairman of the executive
committee of the ELF-PLF, has announced that the front asked the EEC
countries to halt whatever aid it was giving to the regime in Ethiopia
because it is abusing this aid for military purposes.

In a statement to QNA in Mogadishu, Sabbe, who is currently visiting
Somalia, said that he had informed the EEC member countries that the con-
tinuation of ‘this aid by the EEC will lead to bolstering the Soviet expan-
sionist policy in the Red Sea--which would pose danger to the interests of
the EEC countries in Bab El Mandeb since the Eritrean forces will be forced
to hinder navigation in Bab El Mandeb and even carry out operations of
hijacking or sabotage if this aid continues.

Osman Sabbe added the Eritrean forces have been waging a battle of struggle
and heroism for more than 20 years. As a result, 130,000 martyrs of the
Eritrean people and forces have been killed and 1 million Eritreans have
become refugees in Sudan. Sabbe expects a new Ethiopian assault against
the Eritrean forces this summer and during the rainy season.

Regarding the Ethiopian plans against Sudan, Sabbe said the Ethiopians are
trying to invade Sudan and topple the national government there in order
to establish a pro-Moscow communist government and cut of reinforcement
lines to Eritrea.

Regarding efforts being made to close the ranks of the Eritrean fronts

and organizations, Sabbe said Chadli Klibi, the secretary general of the
Arab League, is currently trying to reunite these organizations and fronts
at a meeting to be held in Tunis, "and there is great hope that the reunifi-
cation and closure of ranks will be successful after the schism which has
weakened Eritrean stands."

CUBAN PROJECT TO MOULD NEW AFRICANS DESCRIBED
Paris AFRICA AFP in English 4 Jun 82 pp 1-3
[Article by Pierre Cayro1]

[text] Havana, June 2--Cuba has embarked on the ambitious project of
moulding thousands of youthful "new Africans" into revolutionaries, anti-
imperialist, anti-racist and anti-colonialist.

The trainees, aged between 12 and 20 are to become the new cadres of their
countries at 18 identical establishments on Cuba's "Youth Isle," formerly
known as "Island of Pines."

They come from six sovereign African states--Angola, Congo, Ethiopia,
Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and Sao Tome E Principe--and two liberation
movements, fighting for the independence of the Western Sahara and Namibia.

There are also students from Nicaragua.

The youths are grouped by nationality in 18 schools built in the countryside
where half the day is spent on classroom studies and the other half working
in the fields.

Each establishment has both Cuban teachers as well as Africans who are the
same nationality as their pupils. For instance, in the Namibia school there

are 34 Cuban and eight Namibian teachers.

The African pupils have the same courses as Cuban children, plus special
lessons in geography, history and politics adapted to their own countries.

Strict Schedule

It is a rule that all pupils are members of a revolutionary political
organisation. .

For instance, Tommy, born in Namibia, is affiliated to the youth movement
of the South-West Africa Peoples' Organisation (SWAPO).



Ms Ata-Aidoo said Ghanaians should be inspired by the achievements of the
Free German Youth and help the country take great strides toward development,

Mr Herbert Denzier, GDR Ambassador, hoped the achievement of the Free German

Youth would inspire the younger generation of Ghana in tackling the noble
task ahead,

Mr John Kwajoe, acting chairman of the National Youth Organising Commission,
chaired the function.

PAPER COMMENTS ON NEW PRESS BILL
MB101025 Johannesburg THE STAR in English 9 Jun 82 p 16
{Editorial: "Another Bull in the China Shop"]

[Text] Some of the Chinaware is destroyed, much is damaged but until this
week there still remained some precious pieces of porcelain. Now Mr Chris
Heunis, minister of internal affairs, appears to be blundering in to
destroy most of what is left of freedom of expression in this country.

It is a tragedy for many reasons.

Firstly, further legislation is entirely unnecessary. It is already
possible to close down newspapers, as the world was closed, without even
giving reasons. The restriction and regulations covering the press are
already vast, far greater than those affecting politicians or the man in
the street.

Secondly, there was every reason to believe that all the excesses of the
Steyn Commission could be avoided. Even those who sought further censor-
ship or external control of the press seemed reluctant to go far as the
Steyn Commission proposed. Perhaps those excesses will be avoided, but

if more statutes are introduced,.free speech is further damaged anyway.

[No Third received]

Fourthly, the vexed problem of disciplining any excesses within the press
was already being attended to by the newspapers and newspapermen themselves.

Despite all this, the minister wants another little law to turn self-dis-
cipline into state discipline for all. It is catastrophic, and while this
does not appear so to him, history will provide the proof.

At the time of writing, the terms of the proposed legislation were not to
hand, yet we know that any law at this stage is retrogressive. Rather
the time was ripe for Mr Botha's government to take a forward step; to
show the world that we are on-a course of reform towards greater freedom.

Ironically, it seems that the rush to push drastic press law through
Parliament in the dying moments of the session is aimed--not at the English-
language press or at the government-supporting press--but at the Afrikaans
newspapers on the far right. We would all like to see the ultra-conservative,

ANGOLA

ITALIAN MINISTER COMMENTS ON SUPPORT TO MPLA
ABO91034 Luanda ANGOP in French 0919 GMT 9 Jun 82

[Text] Mocamendes, 8 Jun (ANGOP)--Giorgio Chiacomeli, minister pleni-
potentiary at the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, declared in Mocamedes
(south-west Angola) that his country gives concrete support to the MPLA-
Labor Party and the People's Republic of Angola under existing agreements
between the two countries.

Talking to the local press just before his return to Luanda, Giorgio
Chiacomeli said cooperation between Italy and Angola is gradually being
strengthened.

The Italian minister, who is also the director general of cooperation and
development, added that he had contacts at various levels with Angolan
authorities with a view to strengthening the already-existing relations
on the basis of assistance and mutual understanding. It is believed that
these contacts have resulted in speeding up the execution of development
projects.

Asked about his impression about activities of international imperialism
in southern Angola, the Italian leader said the Italian Government will
always give its support to the People's Republic of Angola whose struggle
is followed with understanding by the Italian people.

In conclusion, he said we condemn racist South African maneuvers, as well

as that of the so-called contact group, and we favor the independence of
Namibia under the leadership of SWAPO, its sole and legitimate representative.

Bullet for Tyrant

Take this slogan changed by Nicaraguan children: "A peso for a bullet and
a bullet for the tyrant, because the sovereignty of the people is unques-
tioned and must be defended by force of arms. Sandinistas Command,"

Guillermo was born 13 years ago at Matagalpa, Northern Nicaragua. He knows
all these slogans by heart like all his friends. He is happy to be here,
working in the orange groves and then studying in the classroom.

Naturally, he gets homesick, but he receives letters every two weeks and
that seems to keep him content.

Leninist Conception
Javier, 17, is proud of the system here and the mixture of study and farming.
"It is the implementation of the Leninist conception to form the new Soviet

man," he said. He knows all about Lenin, having studied him here,

Presumably he will go on later to a Cuban agronomical centre before returning
home when he is an adult to "improve farming" there,

There is enthusiasm everywhere, and one reads hatred in their eyes when
they talk about colonialism, racism and imperialism.

They become exulted whenever they talk about their revolutionary leaders.
They all seem happy, well fed and enjoying good living conditions which
they attribute to Cuba. They never stop chanting "Long Live Cuba-Angolan
Friendship" or whatever their country is.

President Fidel Castro is ensuring that Cuba's presence in Africa will
remain for at least one generation. (A.F.P.).

SOUTH AFRICA

ALLEGED SALE OF ARMS TO ARGENTINA DISCUSSED
Confusing Policy Statements
Johannesburg SUNDAY TIMES in English 30 May 82 p 2

[Article by Ivor Wilkins: "Anatomy of a Muddle"]

[text]

THE prospect of South
Africa arming the Ar-
gentine regime in its
struggle against the
British Government
had to be taken
seriausly. .

And, after all the bluster
and the denials, it still is.

British spokesmen have
made it quite clear, in diplo-
matically couched terms,
that Whitehall is not entirely
satisfied that South Africa’s
responses to the allegations
have closed the matter.

In reply to queries from
the Sunday Times a British
Embassy spokesman said his
government had noted South
Africa’s assurance that it
‘was not supplying and would
not supply Exocet missiles to
Argentina.

Concern

It had also noted the De-
fence Minister’s denial that
missiles or aircraft parts
have been provided before or
during the Falklands
conflict.

“Her Majesty's Govern-
ment has, however, also not-
ed the limited scope of that
denial and the fact that it
concerns only the past and
not the present or future,” the
spokesman said.

What is ‘causing concern
among sceptics is that South
Africa has. specifically de-

nied supplying Exocet mis-
siles, missiles in general and
aircraft parts to the
Argentinians.

They worry fhat that
leaves open a host of other
weaponry that South Africa
may or may not be supplying. *

lotwithstanding South Af-
rica’s denials, the depth of
scepticism still felt in White-
was reflected in the em-
bassy spokesman’s response:

“We have impressed on the
South African Government
the strong hope that all mili-
tary supplies will be suspend-
ed for the duration of the.
conflict.” :

~The extraordinary everits’
of Monday, which saw the
South African Government-
dig in on a blunt refusal to
talk about arms deals and:
then, within hours, turn its
own policy upside down, has

left political and diplomatic 5

circles buzzing.
Immediately the allega-
tions of South African arms
supplies to ntina be-
came public, Govern-
ment’s attitude was that it
would not confirm or deny
with whom it traded in arms.
Both the Prime Minister,
Mr P W Botha, and the For-
eign Minister, Mr Pik Botha,
issued formal statements af
firming that commitment
Wee will not he, shitted
from our position -
tics,” the "Prime Minster
‘said. wok Bem

37

But within hours some*
thing had happened to cduse
the Government to complete-
ly reverse its position.

To the astonishment of
Parliament, General Malan
interrupted a night sitting of
the House of Assembly to is-
sue a denial: . .

“South Africa has not sup-
plied or sold any missiles or
aircraft parts before‘or after
the Falklands crisis to
Argentina.”

bservers attribute the ab-
solute reversal of policy to a
number. of possible factors.

‘There is a belief that the
Government attempted a
bold finesse against the Brit-
ish Government which
backfired.

Resentful of Britain's arms
embargo against South
Africa and its withdrawal
from the Simonstown Agree-
ment, the Government might
have wanted to deliberately
allow Whitehall to labour un-
der the apprehension that the
Republic had weapons
aplenty — arms embargoes
notwithstanding — enough to
spread around.

Dangers

Hence the calculatedly -
ambiguous stance.

But, in the vital hours that
so completely reversed the
Government's position, it is
believed the dangers of this
strategy were forcefully.



Commenting on the current situation in the Labor Party and the CAM [Mus lim
Action Committee], Mohamed said that "the things that are happeneing now prove
we were right to have left Labor. Today," he said, "CAM will only say that
the Labor Party is going to return to power, with or without the Muslims.

CAM has let itself be humiliated by Sir Veerasamy Ringadoo and Sir Seewoosagur
Ramgoolan. Razack Peeroo should have submitted his resigation after the
Stanley-Diljore affair,"

It is inconceivable, Mr Mohamed opined, that the leader of the Lar Party
should order the Police Riot Unit to beat up its own activities. "It is
shameful," he said. Mr Mohammed assured his supporters that he has nothing in
common with the current Labor Party Leadership. All the same, he added , the
Labor Party would have had the best candidate in Moka/Quartier Militaire--but
instead he chose to leave his party and fight for the Muslim with the support
of the PLM.

often rabid voice muted... But if it is done by force, what sort of free-
dom is that?

Freedom, as we wrote some weeks ago, means reluctantly "fighting for the
right for them to write what they like." That is the sort of cause many

South Africans have fought and died for in the past century. Some bull-
in-the-china-shop operations now could finally destroy that tradition.

MAURITIUS

POLICE COMMISSIONER BANS ISLAMIC PARTY DEMONSTRATION
Port Louis LE MAURICIEN in French 22 Apr 82 p 4

[Excerpts] The demonstration that Yousouf Mohamed's
Mauritian Islamic Party (PIM) was planning to hold to-
morrow in front of the Ministry of Employment to support
a demand for jobs for unemployed Muslims has heen banned
by Police Commissioner M. A. Rajarai. The organizers
were officially informed yesterday, in a letter addressed
to them from police headquarters.

In that letter, the police commissioner said that the demonstration could not
be approved since the Comcil of Ministers generally meets on Friday. He
pointed out to them that the demonstration organized by jobleee graduates

2 weeks ago was banned, and that those who had disobeyed police orders were
arrested.

Yousouf Mohamed, one of the PIM's main spokesmen, took advantage of a meeting
held at Camp Yoloff yesterday afternoon to announce to his supporters that
because of the police commissioner’s decision, the party had decided not to go
ahead with the demonstration. Commenting on that decision, Mr Mohamed noted
the problems his party has been having.

In that connection, he said that party posters have even been tom down by
agents of opposing parties.

Mr Harish Boodhoo, leader of the Mauritian Socialist Party (PSM), was taken to
task severely during that meeting by a number of speakers coming to the podium
one after the other, among them. Yousouf Mohamed himself and Ismael Nawoor and
Sedick Naudeer, two former members of the MMM [Mauritian Militant Movement].
According to the PIM, Harish Boodhoo has shown himself guilty of demagoguery,
and even simple-mindedness, through his recent assertion of support for creation
of a ministry of religion. "This issue is one that could create problems for
Mauritians. Who will take on the duties of minister of religion? Will it be a
member of Seva Shivir? Will it be a Hindu, a Muslim or a Christian? And what
criteria will be used to choose him? Mr Boodhoo should answer all these
questions," Yousouf Mohamed said.

The speaker warmed his supporters against the PSM.

DECLINE OF SPARSE INTER-AFRICAN TRADE REPORTED

INTER-AFRICAN AFFAIRS

Harare THE FINANCIAL GAZETTE in English 4 Jun 82 p 7

[text]

NINETY-FIVE percent of African
trade is with countries outside the
African region. _Intra-African
trade now accounts for less than
5% of total African trade and
shows a declining trend.

This was revealed in the Econo-

~ mic Commission for Africa’s Afri-

can trade bulletin, made available

at the ECA seminar for presidents

and secretaries-general of African

chambers of commerce, held in
Harare last week.

‘The bulletin said though this was
the trend, the potential for the ex-
pansion of intra-African trade was
substantial.

“The realisation of this poten-
tial will largely depend upon the
extent to which African govern-
ments, producers, and all trade or-
ganisations commit themselves to
identifying products that can be
traded among African countries

and the efforts exerted in actually »

orienting their production and
commercial activities towards

African markets,” the bulletin |

said.

The African region was, in 1970-
79, a net importer of products clas-
sified as manufactured goods —
which included machines and

transport equipment, beverages _

cso: 4700/1406

and tobacco, chemicals, animal
and vegetable oils — while it was a
net exporter of products falling un-
der the categories of food and live
animals, crude materials excluding
fuels, mineral fuels and others.
Some studies have also shown
that the African region is a net im-
porter of processed goods that are
produced from raw materials
available in African countries.

RAW MATERIALS

“The potential for an expansion
of intra-African trade thérefore,
lies partly in the management and
processing of the raw materials for
distribution within the region.

“Accordingly. trade institutions
such as chambers of commerce, ex-
port promotion’centres and related
trade intermediaries have an im-
portant role to play in realizing this
potential by identifying trade op-
portunities and encouraging pro-
duction of goods to be marketed in
Africa,” said the bulletin.

The bulletin also said the excess
of imports over exports for the
period 1976 to 1978 showed an in-
creasing demand trend for some
commodities. In 1976, imports of

canned meat exceeded exports by -

$17 655 000. A year later imports
were $45 879 000 more than ex-

blished trade links, credit facili

ports, and in 1978, imports were
$58 652 000 more than exports.

The bulletin quotes the Food
and Agriculture Organisation
(FAO) as saying the largest export-
ers. of canned meat were Kenya,
Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Madagas-
car, Ethiopia, Swaziland and
Somalia. The bulk of these exports
were destined for European mar-
kets. While some African countries
exported their canned meat to
European and Middle East mar-
kets, African importers were sup-
plied from Europe, Latin America
and New Zealand.

“The reasons for this pattern of
trade in canned meat are said to in-
clude transport facilities old.

ies,
taste, brand loyalty and quality re-
quirements for the traditional Af-
rican consumer groups, particular-
ly those in urban areas,” the bulle-
tin added.

It however acknowledged that
there were obstacles and barriers to
the development of intra-African
trade. These included general ob-
stacles relating to production and
markets, monetary, financial,
communication and tariff obsta-
cles, and barriers and quantitative
restrictions.



CVC URGED TO HUNT FOR BIG-TIME FRAUD

“Movement has urged the Citizens Vet-

ZANZIBAR HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES RAPS ‘AGITATORS*

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 4 Jun 82 p 1

[Article by Abdallah Yakutil]

[text]

HE ZANZIBAR House of
Representatives yesterday
morning. condemned
agitators who publish and
circulate leaflets criticising
the Isles leadership and
called on the Government
to deal mercilessly with
anyone involved. .

- Discussing a private
motion, the first since the
House was established two
years. ago, moved by
Representative Moh-
_med. Khatibu (Cen-
tral District Zanzibar)
and calling for the con-
demnation of the agitators,
he said their intention was
to create an atmosphere of
fear and disunity among
the islanders.

He said the leaflets which
circulated in Zanzibar town
‘over the week-end calling for
the resignation of certain
leaders in the Government,
were seditious with intent to
arouse popular agitation
against the Revolutionary

cso: 4700/1404

Government.
Ndugu Khatibu described

‘the agitators as cowards, who

instead of working along the
laid down channels provided
for in the Isles Constitution to
air their grievances, decide to
work-in dark corridors.

Ndugu Seif Bakari
(Nominated) supported’ the
motion, adding that through
the 1980. Zanzibar -Con-
stitution, the Governmeat
established democratic in-
stitutions such as the House
through which - suggestions
and criticisms from the
citizens could be presented
and discussed.

He said to deviate from
these established institutions
was tantamount to conspiring
or waging a seditions war
against civil authorities.

“We do not want violence.
But these people who want
violence must understand
that their reactionary violence
would be countered by
revolutionary violence of the
people”, he warned.

He pointed out that bet-

59

TANZANIA

ween 1964 and 1972, reac-
tionaries plotted against the
Zanzibar Revolutionary
Government twelve times, but
did not succeed because they
were eliminated as soon as
they were detected.

Contributing to the debate,
Representative Abdallah
Saidi Natepe said what was
causing unrest in the enemy
camp was the steady progress
the Islanders were scoring on
all fronts.

He called on the Islanders
to enhance unity and
democracy in the Isles for
political stability, equality
and economic progress.

Supporting the motion,
Ndugu Sudi Mgeni (Chake
Chake) cautioned thé
-Representatives- that a cam-
paign against agitators would
only succeed if there were no
“handles” within the Party
and government leadership to
fit on the reactionary “axe”.

The public should also
operate fully with authorities
to expose the enemy, Ndugu
Mgeni stressed.



The voters will be the judges when they see first hand the disunity and the
arguments of the right on independence used against the RCP. For years, the
right has done everything to pin this image on the RCP, without the Communist
Party being able to respond even once.

This is what some Socialist Party members and candidates have been doing,
without recognizing that this harms the entire left. The voters will reflect

on this when they become aware of it.
It is a question of facts, which should make everyone think.

Before the first round of cantonal elections, we approached the originators
of these attacks and pointed out that they were very negative. We have
refused to publicly engage in polemics, and therefore the polemics are not
our fault.

On the other hand, after Wilfrid Bertile delivered his veritable act of
aggression against the RCP, did the Socialist Federation executive committee
wish us to keep quiet, when the clear intentions had been affirmed in the

13 March LE MONDE? Should we have concealed the fact? We would have
assumed a serious political responsibility by hiding this from the voters,
who would have been certain to criticize us for it. Who is responsible for
the polemics?

Clarification

The attack on our party appeared in the 13 March LE MONDE, and Wilfrid
Bertile knew that it would be published during the election campaign; it
was he, therefore, who opened fire. TEMOIGNAGES naturally responded. And
as far as we know, until notified to the contrary, Wilfrid Bertile is a
leader and an elected representative of the Socialist Party.

In these circumstances, should we attach any importance to what Bertile
says? Or, indeed, is he saying out loud what others are thinking privately?
These are important items to be clarified.

When, on 22 March 1982, Daniel Cadet declared on television that he was "fed
up" with bearing the responsibility for the division on the left during the
1981 legislative election, because he was simply carrying out instructions,
Wilfrid Bertile was at that time first secretary of the Socialist Federation.

Political honesty demands that the truth be told.

Thus, in regard to responsibility for starting the polemic, the executive
committee of the Socialist Federation should be more objective, especially
since it has not silenced the individual who poured oil on the fire.

We need only look at the current case of a man of the right like Jacques
Dambreville saying publicly that the right should unite with the Socialists
to block the way for the RCP in Saint-Pierre (QUOTIDIEN, 26 March 1982, p 5).
Was that not the result of political maneuvers during the cantonal elections,
maneuvers to which Camille Gerard was referring?

GOVERNMENT'S LAND PURCHASE PLANS WORRY COMMERCIAL FARMERS

Harare THE HERALD in English 5 Jun 82 p 1

Article by Mike Overmeyer]

[rext]

ZIMBABWE

COMMERCIAL farmers in Zimbabwe are concerned about the Government’s plans to buy

more than half their land to resettle thousands of peasant families.
They are unhappy that the Government wants to buy between eight and ten million hectares of the
14,5 million hectares of commercial farmland in the country at an estimated total cost. of # $480 million

as part of the three-year
resettlement programme
which is expected to

start next month. ---
And a Government

not tolerate a situation
where commercial farm-
ers :.ied to blackmail or
hold the country to ran-
som,

The president of the
Commercial Farmers’ Un-
fon, Mr Jim Sinclair, said
in an interview that far-

mers supported resettle-
ment and land distribution,

particularly dy when. it was
geared towards- making
use of underdeveloped. land,

“This unused land must
be made productive and
the best way, to do this
is through resettlement,”
Mr Sinclair said,

But, he added: “We get
worried and unhappy
about the resettlement
programme if it does not
take into account the food
production needs of the
country.

“We are concerned if
resettlement is going to
affect production the

commercial sector” ” he
@aid

Echoing similar senti-
ments another farmer, Mr
David Nield, ‘said: “We
feel th there is lots of unused

jand.

Mr Nield, who is chair-
man of the TSATSI Far-
mers’ Association situated
in one of the country’s
most lucrative farming

areas, added:

“Te would be a dange-
rous step to start taking
over commercial land for
resettlement because this
land feeds the nation and
brings in substantial
foreign currency.

“There is enough, la jana

“It’s nonsense to say

doubt that the major is-
sue during the war was
the land, not only part of
it but all of it.

He said the Government
believed that by investing
in the communal lands,’
the peasants could become
productive,

“While resettlement

may be the immediate ob-
jective, the Government
will in the long rum try
to make all land produc-

d.
“This marginal land is
not being used properly
and cannot yield maxi-
mum results because of
the lack of fertiliser and
implements,

“Today there are still
no roads into the com-
munal areas,” the spokes-

man said.

The war was not only
fought over the shortage
of land for the majority
of the country’s people,
but. for the peasants who
had been denied facilities
to develop the communal
areas and buy fertiliser
and implements, the
spokesman said.

“A government that
cares for the people will

to improve along these
lines,” he said.

To avoid any “black-
mailing”, the spokesman
added, the Government
would’ give the people in
the communal lands an
opportunity to contribute
to the national food sup-

ly.
‘The first year of inde-
pendence had shown that,
fertiliser and
equipment, the communal
peasant could make a big
contribution to food pro-
duction in Zimbabwe.



Should we conceal this from the voters or demand an explanation, a reply,
from the Socialist Federation, which has thus been faulted?

More Obstacles

In summary, if the executive committee of the Socialist Federation had
discussed the RCP's many proposals for a meeting and an agreement on a
joint platform of "no opponent on the left and reciprocal withdrawal," none
of these problems would exist today.

However, better late than never; and from the communique, once again, we
stress the main point: Both parties are ready to meet without conditions.
If the RCP is attacked, it will systematically reply. It will not do so
willingly but as a political duty to the public, which demands that matters
be made clear.

Thus, there is no further obstacle to a meeting.

It is not a matter of provoking a polemic, neither of provoking nor con-
tinuing a polemic, which would lead to a response and then require the
establishment of the condition: "No more polemic."

All that is needed is to stop the feuding, period.

Therefore, we await with interest the response to the RCP's latest letter of
30 March 1982 calling for a meeting. If there is agreement on that, then we

will embark on a genuine union of the left and the right will be defeated in
Reunion in the coming months.

KENYA

NAIROBI PAPER ATTACKS UNIVERSITY 'AGITATORS'
EA071800 Nairobi THE STANDARD in English 7 Jun 82 p 4
[Editorial: "Crackdown on Agitators"]

[Text] His excellency the president, Mr Daniel Arap Moi; has vowed to
root out plotters and agitators from within the Kenyan nation. In this
decision, our leader has the unwavering support and confidence of the over-
whelming majority of his people at every level and aspect of national life.

It is extremely easy to identify that minuscule element of misguided indi-
viduals that does not support President Moi in his commitment and deter-
mination to foster peace, stability and progress in this country.

The fact that they are known and have been tolerated for so long, speaks
highly of the calibre of the man that Kenyans have chosen to lead them.

It puts them to shame and were they worthy of their convictions, they would
have ceased to operate under often government-financed jobs and come out
in the open to peddle their foreign ideologies and disruptive teachings.

It is because they know that few Kenyans would listen to them that they
choose to manipulate gullible young men and women using ill-gotten gains
for foreign elements, that do not have the interests of this country at
heart.

We have in mind those university lecturers who consider that academia is
the ideal milieu for cowardly agitators. They have turned the honourable
pursuit of knowledge into the disreputable medium of poisoning young minds.
This fundamental right of the individual to pursue knowledge, is being
greatly abused by people who are at the same time maintained at public
cost.

One of their activities was revealed yesterday; students at various insti-
tutions are being instigated to purchase guns and Maasai swords so that
they can deal with those who do not support them when they decide to cause
chaos on the campus.

Those who are instigating them--and again we must repeat that they constitute
a tiny minority of teachers in our institutions of higher learning--are

Prince Mabandla said it
was important that all the
} discussions between the two
countries should be commu-
nicated to the people. He
, Said this was particularly so
since the Southern African
i Development Co-ordination
' Conference talks started.

“It is important that all

He said it was time that
the two countries regarded

ZANZIBAR TO RECEIVE EXECUTIVE JET FOR GOVERNMENT IN JULY

Dar es Salaam DAILY NEWS in English 4 Jun 82 p 3

[Article by Abdéllah Yakuti]

[Excerpt]

ZANZIBAR will receive next
month a 48 million/- ten-seat
executive jet which will be
used by the Zanzibar govern-
ment, the Isles House of
Representatives has been told.
Zanzibar Minister for
Finance, Ndugu Mohammed
Ramia, said the government
has so far made no down
payment for the executive jet.
aircraft was being pur-
chased through a 48 million/-
loan from the manufacturers,
British Aerospace Limited.

He said the aircraft was in-
tended to provide a reliable
transport for the President of
Zanzibar to allow him
discharge his responsibilities
efficiently.

Ndugu Ramia refuted
allegations that purchase of
the jet was the cause of.the
current shortage of rice and
sugar in Zanzibar... .

leither was it true, he said,
that development projects
8 to be undertaken
during the current financial

cS0: 4700/1404

year got struck because funds
earmarked for them had to be
used in purchasing the jet.

The aircraft became an
issue in the House on Wed-
nesday when the Represen-
tatives saw no funds allocated
for its purchase in.the 1982/83
budget proposals and the an-
nual development plan
presented to the House on
Tuesday.

The Representatives
charged that since funds for
the purchase of the plane
were not indicated in the
current budget, the govern-
ment must have slashed ex-
penditures for programmed
projects to buy the plane,
which they described as a
“luxury” considering Zan-
zibar's current economic
problems.

They charged that the ecar-
city of food staples on the
Isles was a direct result of the

ernment move to withhold

ds to buy the aircraft.

60

Ndugu Ramia maintained
that the decision to buy an
aircraft for the Zanzibar
President dated back to 1975,
but the move had been
delayed until this year when
the government secured the
Toan from Britain.

Ndugu Ramia refuted the
idea that the plane was a
luxury and wondered why it
was acceptable for companies
and individuals on the
Mainland to own fleets of air-
craft but strange for the Zan-
zibar government to own and
operate a single aircraft.

Ndugu Ramia also defen-
ded the recent price increase
for wheat flour, saying that
the item would still sell at a
lower price in Zanzibar than
on the Mainland.

A ldlogramme of wheat
flour will now cost 6/75 on the
Isles as against 7/70 on the
Mainland despite the fact
that the two parts of the
United Republic import the
foodstuff from the same
source.

brought home to the South’
African leaders.

 Burope was solidi behind
Britain. America, whose tol-
*erance towards South Africa
tis the first consideration in
virtually all its foreign policy
decisions, was backing
Britain.

Britain has enormous
trade with South Africa and
is an influential ally under

‘Thatcher’s Conservative
-Government.
. With a permanent seat in
{the United Nations Security
‘Council, that is not something
‘to be casually jeopardised.

‘That enough was cause to
tread warily in choosing to
side with Britain’s opponents.

Certainly, British Govern-
ment spokesmen were quick
sto point out that the British
tpublic would react with an-
‘ger if the allegations were
confirmed.

(There were other public
‘reactions in Britain, too, how-
jever. The London Daily Ex-
press reckoned that if South
jAfrican arms were
lagainst British troops,
isuccessive British govern-
{ments only had themselves to
Sblame: by placing embargoes
jagainst South Africa, the
‘biters had become the
‘bitten.)

But, for South Africa’s in-
ternal politics, the dangers
were also enormous.

With a large proportion of
the white population tradi-
tionally li with Britain
= particularly in times of
war — the risk of repeating
the awful divisions of the
} past ‘and re-awakening Boer-

rit antagonisms inside
South Africa would be
considerable.

‘At a time. when the Gov-
ernment is seeking new po-
litical alliances such divi-
sions simply could. not be
afforded.

In at least three private
meetings between senior
Government Ministers — in-
cluding the Prime Minister,
the Defence Minister and the
Foreign Minister — Opposi-
tion representatives made it
clear how seriously they re-
garded the allegations.

‘They conveyed their deter-
‘mination to clarify the issue,

and from advice at home —
“that caused the dramatic

Government.

"Subsequently, the Prime

Minister has made lashing

there have been contraven-
tions of two laws: The De-
fence Act and the Arms and
Ammunition Act.

‘The newspapers concerned
— all members of the Argus
Company — have published
accounts of the lengths to
which they went to obtain
Government reaction to the
allegations.

Before publication, the al-
legations were submitted to
the Ministries of Defence and
Foreign Affairs and the
Prime Minister was in-
formed, according the ac-
counts by the newspapers
concerned.

The report was seen three

ZAIRIAN VIEWS ON REACTION TO RESTORED TIES WITH ISRAEL
Front-Page Commentary

Kinshasa ELIMA in French 23-24 May 82 pp 1-2, 15

[Commentary by Essolomwa Nkoy ea Linganga: "Demented Reactions"]

[Text] It will be remembered that, at its meeting on Friday 14 May, the Bureau
of the Central Committee, chaired by MPR president-founder and president of the
republic, Gen Mobutu Sese Seko, decided to resume diplomatic relations with the
state of Israel. According to the spokesman of the Central Committee Bureau,
this decision was the logical conclusion of a thorough analysis of the current
international situation and a full review of our country's external political
situation in relation to a number of crisis areas of the world.

To better understand the reasons for this decision and its background, we should
remember, as explained by the spokesman of the Executive Council, that General
Mobuto's official announcement of the break in diplomatic relations between
Kinshasa and Tel Aviv, in the context of African solidarity, was made in his
historic, brilliant speech of 4 October 1973 at the United Nations in New York.
Zaire, as a sovereign nation strongly committed to its unity and territorial
integrity, could not tolerate the occupation of African territory of Egypt by
the Jewish state. Thus, Zaire's decision at that time was justified by the
fact that part of the territory of Egypt, an OAU member and fraternal African
country, had been annexed by the Jewish state. Further explaining this historic
decision, General Mobutu said, in a proverbial phrase which has become famous:
"Between a brother (Egypt) and a friend (Israel), the choice is clear."

Also, several other fraternal African states, confirming Zaire's action which
derived from the political will to achieve progress toward a durable solution
to the problem of peace in the Middle East, in turn broke relations with the
Jewish state.

Our faithful readers will remember that after our return from New York, having
accompanied the head of state on this historic visit, we published a series of
commentaries on the president's 4 October 1973 speech. In these commentaries
we not only highlighted the great historical significance of General Mobutu's
decision, but also summed up the favorable and enthusiastic reaction of the

Arab World, which subsequently described the great chief of state, President

Mobutu, as an incomparable leader of men and certainly an outstanding leading

LOW FOOD HARVEST--Botswana will face a low food harvest this year. This was
announced in a press release from the Division of Planning and Statistics.
"According to the Agricultural Statistics Unit's assessments of the standing
crop, there is little optimism about the 1982 crop production prospects,"
says the release, It goes on: "Current projections estimate the 1982
production of the four food crops--sorghum, maize, millet and beans/pulses--
to be between 17 000 and 22 000 metric tons. In 1980 and 1981 the crop
farmers in the country produced 44 800 and 54 300 metric tons, respectively.
"The planted area is currently estimated between 128 and 147 thousand hectar-
age. Consequently, the present forecast should not be treated as invilate,
It will be revised as more information becomes available, "Seen against the
background of the above average 1981 agricultural situation, the current
year's projection is down because of the decrease in both average yields and
planted hectarage. "The major contributions to the presently unfavourable
situation were, among other things, the prevalence of adverse seasonal
weather and the high incidence of aphid infestation on crops," added the
release. [Text] [Gaborone DAILY NEWS in English 6 May 82 p 1]

SWAZI PRIME MINISTER TALKS WITH OFFICIALS

[Article by James Dlamini]

[Excerpt] The prime minister, Prince Mabandla, yesterday told a visiting
United Nations official that Swaziland is in a continuous dilemma béing
in the centre of an ideological storm.

Prince Mabandla said the political strife in South Africa causes continuous
complications and uncertainty. "The South African problem puts us out of
gear all the time," he said.

Prince Mabandla was addressing visiting United Nations official, Mr Gordon
Goundrey.

Mr Goundrey is assistant secretary at the UN secretary general's office
in New York. He is visiting countries which are affected by the South
African question to assess economic problems.

"Your visit in the region is vital to us so that you can see for yourself
what is happening," he said. "From the south éast to the north we are
surrounded by South Africa, a country which is not palatable to the whole
world," he added.

"But we have to deal with them. About that there is no question and there
is no way we can avoid it. Even if we had an outlet to the sea, I don't
see how we could avoid dealing with South Africa," he said.

"To the east we have Mozambique which had its own economic problems. It
is very poor and we cannot sell as much to them as we would like to," he
added.

"We can't export our produce to all the markets," he said.

"We are in an-awkward position. We are like a little island in a big ocean
and when the ocean is in a storm we are affected. However, we are adamant
on our policy of non-alignment as much as we are concerned about world
problems," he added.

"The world recession is hitting harder all the time. We live like suckers.
We are like a tree which lives on another when'the other is unstable," he
said.

A Sudanese Government spokesman said clashes took place on the Sudan-
Abyssinian border, during which several arms caches were unearthed. The
spokesman’added that in the last 6 months, fierce fighting took place along
the border, but worse came in the past 2 weeks, when Abyssinian forces and
Sudanese Government forces exchanged machinegun and artillery fire, although
no casualties were reported. :

It is known that Sudan is well aware of Addis Ababa's evil activities against
the Sudanese Government. The Russian regime [words indistinct] Addis Ababa
wants to carry out an undeclared war against Sudan.

Sudan is aware of Russian conspiracies in the Horn of Africa. An anti-
Sudanese conspiracy is also being hatched in Libya. At Khartoum airport
recently, various weapons were seized which came from Libya via Addis Ababa.
Bombs have also been detonated in Khartoum, but the merchants of death

were brought to court and sentenced accordingly.

There is no doubt that the campaign Addis Ababa regime attempts to wage
against Sudan has been masterminded by Libya and Addis Ababa with the
knowledge of Moscow. However, it is very difficult for it to succeed in
their campaign since the Sudanese.Government and people are aware of the

It is also known that they have carried out naked aggression against the

COMMUNIQUE OF SOCIALIST PARTY FEDERATION CRITICIZED
Saint-Denis TEMOIGNAGES in French 2 Apr 82 p 2

[Text] The Socialist Party Federation executive com-
mittee met on Saturday, 27 March. A communique
reporting the results of the proceedings was published
in QUOTIDIEN yesterday, 1 April.

The communique cited a number of objectives and facts that TEMOIGNAGES has
already reported.

It pointed out that when the left was mobilized it won considerably more
votes in the second round than in the first. This is a sign that the union
of the left is producing a favorable reaction in the country.

The Socialist Federation executive committee reaffirmed:

1. The need to establish a single assembly by proportional election; and
it called on all its elected representatives to work for this objective at
all levels. '

2. "The need to rally the popular forces and the need for progress on a
development program."

The primary requirement is a will for unity on all sides. The Reunionese
Communist Party [RCP] has already made a new proposal for a meeting to the
Socialist Federation in a letter dated 30 March 1982.

Facts

However, there is another aspect to the Socialist Federation communique:

The voters themselves will be the judges of any failure to transfer votes,
and "the RCP bears the responsibility for the defeat" of Socialist candidates
in the second round.

We regret this new attack, but we fully agree that the voters of the left
are the best judges of responsibility, particularly on the basis of what they
saw and heard, an anticommunist propaganda conducted by certain Socialist
Party members and candidates as well as efforts to corrupt.

FOOD PROBLEMS--Zimbabwe might not be self-sufficient in food in five to 10
years, let alone be the breadbasket for Southern Africa, the Secretary for
Agriculture, Mr Robbie Mupawose, said yesterday. Opening a symposium in
Harare on extension service management, he questioned the crecibility of
statements that this country was the region's breadbasket. "We have neither
the best climate and soils nor the largest land mass in this region. With
our expanding non-food producing urban and mining population, with its
increased spending power, in five to 10 years shall we be self-sufficient in
food?" More than 90 percent of all agricultural produce marketed through
formal channels, came from the large-scale commercial farms, 2 to 3 percent
from small-scale commercial areas and 5 to 7 percent from communal areas.
"As the resettlement programme progresses and reduces the size of the
commercial sector, productivity and land should be maintained and, if
possible, increased. "If there is a drop in production it must only last

a very short period indeed, or we face disaster," he said, Warning against
false euphoria, Mr Mupowose said agriculture faced reduced availability of
fertiliser, machinery and experienced staff. [text] [Harare THE HERALD

NEGLECT OF STATE FARMS--The root cause of the unproductive nature of the

number of the corporation's farms have been neglected. Over 27,000 acres
Oil Palm Plantations spread over four regions in the country, have been
virtually abandoned even though most of them are ready for harvesting. The
reason given for this sad state of affairs is that the corporation cannot
get money to pay its labour force at the various farms with the result that
most of them have left for other jobs. Workers of the Corporation of
Akonfodi in the Central Region, Kwame Danso and Wenchi in the Brong-ahafo
Region and Begoro in the Eastern Region have not been paid for the past five
months. Consequently, the corporation has not been in a position to min-
tain its farms let alone harvest the ripe fruits, Most of the tractors,

MINISTER ON CONTROL OF PRESS
MB100930 Johannesburg International Service in English 0630 GMT 10 Jun 82

[Text] The South African Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr Chris Heunis,
says it is the responsibility of the state to settle differences that may
arise among the news media over their responsibilities towards the commu-
nity. Mr Heunis was speaking in a nation-wide television programme during
which South African newspaper editors emphasised the need for the greatest
possible measure of press freedom.

The minister said the media had an important role to play in democratic
system, but freedom was not absolute. Information should be disseminated
in such a manner that it served the general interests.

Mr Heunis said suggestions made by the media regarding code, procedure
and method of settling differences were generally acceptable to the South
African Government. There was, however, one fundamental shortcoming.
That was that all publications in the country were not members of the
newspaper press union. This meant that methods had to be devised to
ensure that the self discipline could bemade applicable to non-members.

REUNION

DETAILS OF CANTONAL ELECTION RESULTS REPORTED
Saint-Denis TEMOIGNAGES in French 22 Mar 82 pp 2, 3

[Text] Following the announcement of the cantonal election results, FR3
organized a discussion yesterday evening, first on radio then on television,
by Reunion political leaders.

Listeners were no doubt amazed by the intemperate remarks of Wilfrid Bertile,
no doubt upset by his failure in the Saint-Pierre second canton.

He accused our party specifically of a "sabotage action" against the
Socialist candidates and of "doing everything to shatter the union of the
left." As for his statements to LE MONDE, Wilfrid Bertile said that the
Reunionese Communist Party [RCP] had used these "as a pretext for a scheme"
against the Socialist Party [SP].

After hearing Wilfrid Bertile's remarks at Saint-Denis, our colleague Paul
Verges has tried to present the true facts and has said he is going to tell
the people of Reunion the truth about Bertile's statements to LE MONDE.
Instead of accusing the RCP leaders, he would do better to recognize their
efforts to repair the damage caused by his statements and the great harm
done to the entire left and his own friends.

Jean-Claude Fruteau, first secretary of the Socialist Federation, said
yesterday evening that the report of the Saint-Benoit vote was correct and
that the second round vote was indeed larger than the vote in the first
round, thereby showing that when there is a united effort the left wins.
He added: "This is no time to engage in polemics within the left."

During the television debate, representatives of the left avoided any
polemics in their remarks, which were very constructive. Gilbert Annette,
for the Socialist Party, called for a strategic union of the left on the
basis of Point 58 of the president of the republic's program (proportional
election of a single assembly). As he had on radio, Paul Verges rose above
polemics by saying that it was high time to go beyond the stage of inten-
tions and really work to achieve a solid union of the left and of all
democrats, all of whom are concerned about developing their country.

It was therefore pleasing to note the generosity and willingness of some
of our brothers in the Islamic Development Bank to alleviate the worst
effects of underdevelopment and improve the equality of life in the least

attainment and application.

One has to wonder which responsible person or parent would set out deliber-
ately to guide a younger person along a course of violence and destruction.

There are certain elementary questions that: these agitators at the campus
should be asked to answer. What, for example, was their behaviour during
their studies that enabled them to attain their present positions? Did
they practise what they are attempting to teach--the senseless rebellion,
intimidation, cowardice and slovenly behaviour that they want our youth
to adopt.

Most certainly not. They were as likely as not snivelling sycophants which
made it easy for disgruntled and vindictive teachers of permanent revolution
to shovel their mumbo jumbo into them.

‘Why then, should they be tolerated and worse still paid to continue with
their evil deeds? The nation has a basic responsibility to educate the
youth and to mould it into better people for their own sake and for the
good of the country.

We do not need these few elements, either on the campus or in public life
who are seeking to retard and ultimately destroy the nation. Kenyans
have a right to ask that they be consigned to where they belong and we
support the president in the constitutional steps that he takes to deal
with then.

new plant was brought to fruition at the earliest possible moment. "In
addition to the consignments that have already left, we have a further 20
orders for battery cases and accessories which will be exported in the
immediate future. "We are investigating all possible markets, including
Mozambique, and are confident that as well as saving the country foreign
currency by manufacturing locally we can further help Zimbabwe's foreign

“IF it were not so tragic, KwaN-

would be hilarious — pure music
hall comedy.”

This was the reaction of Mrs Ina Perl-
man of the Institute of Race Relations to
the announcement yesterday that the min-
ute Ndebele homeland northeast of Pretor-
ia had requested independence.

The territory's Chief Minister, Mr Simon

Koornhof, Minister of Co-operat

Development, in Cape Town on Wednes-

day to discuss the request.

But it is expected to be five years before
will be granted because of

they have a capital, more land and an
industrial infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Holiday Inns have secured
«the rights to build a casino in partnership
with the KwaNdebele Government after
‘Nigel Matthews, managing director
of Holiday Inns, confirmed this yesterday, .
* but said it was too early to make any firm
decisions on the casino. .

He said Holiday Inns were hoping to
build a major entertainment centre only
about half an hour’s drive from Pretoria

and an hour from Johannesburg.

‘The homeland has drawn much atten-
tion because of the hundreds of thousands
of people resettled in 12 camps there in

[Text] The Addis Ababa regime has begun causing chaos in Sudan. Our com-
mentary on this issue is read to you by Muhammad Umar Khayreh.

The Russian regime, Addis Ababa's (?teacher), is known to be bringing chaos
and confusion to Abyssinia's neighbors, whose policies run counter to those
ugly Soviet policies which work against the interests of the region's
masses. Another known factor is the Mengistu regime's efforts over the
past few years to implement Moscow's policies, in particular its great
interest in expansion and control of the Red Sea. The regime also made

an unholy alliance with Libya. The Abyssinian regime is also known still
to be dominating various nationalities who are constantly fighting to win
their freedom.

The Abyssinian regime failed miserably with its so-called "red star" cam-
paign aimed at exterminating the Eritrean liberation movement. [Words
indistinct] Moscow and Libya brought a contingent of 200,000 troops,
including Cubans and Russians. Mengistu also transferred his defense
headquarters to Asmara. The campaign, whose aim was to create terror and
fear, gained nothing but immense losses for its troops. When Abyssinians
became embarrassed by the campaign, Moscow advised them to woo Sudan and
make it stop its assistance to the Eritrean fighters. A delegation was
sent from Addis Ababa to discuss the matter with President Numayri. The
delegation held low-key talks with Sudanese leaders and came back with no
concrete success.

Immediately after the delegation's return to Addis Ababa, there was intense
activity in Sudan. Members of the armed forces, including security forces,
numbering 50,000, were put on full alert and mobilized [words indistinct]

between the two countries, especially the towns of al-Qadarif and [name
indistinct].

Military reports from Sudan indicate that the Abyssinians are arming and
infiltrating into Sudan two antigovernment factions. The reports say one
of these groups is led by a former Sudanese paratrooper by the name of
(Yaqub Ismail), who defected from Sudan in 1976. He and another man by
