Clinton Changes U.S.
Angola Diplomatic Policy
By William Reed
NATIONAL NEWSPAPER
PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION
WASHINGTON - President
Clinton has announced the
administration's formal rec
ognition of the government
of Angola. The move Is the
first major public break in
U.S. policy towards Angola
established by the Reagan
and Bush administrations.
Africa advocacy and relig
ious groups and Members of
Congress have been calling
for recognition of the gov
ernment since national elec
tions were held in Angola
last year. Reverend Benja
min Chavis Jr., newly ap
pointed executive director of
the NAACP and long-time
supporter of the Angolan
people, telegrammed Secre
tary of State Warren Christo
pher earlier last month re
questing Angola's immediate
recognition. Resolutions
calling for recognition were
introduced earlier this year
in both the House of Repre
sentatives and the Senate.
In the face of mounting
pressure to establish formal
diplomatic relations with
Angola, administration offi
cials had Indicated earlier
that recognition would be
granted, but were unable to
pinpoint a date. Clinton's de
cision marks a clear break
with earlier policy which in
cluded the covert supply of
over $295 million to the
South African-backed rebel
group UNITA (National Un
ion for the Total Indepen
dence of Angola), which car
ried out a 16-year war
against the government of
Angola.
Following a loss in last
year's election, UNITA, led
by Jonas Savimbi, resumed
its war against the govern
ment, provoking a major hu
manitarian and military
crisis in the country. As a re
sult of UNITA's attacks, over
20,000 people have been
killed and thousands have
been forced to flee UNITA-
held areas. The U.S. Depart
ment of State has confirmed
that at least three million
people are at risk of starva
tion, is a peace settlement Is
not reached Immediately.
The 21st Century Commis
sion on African-American
Males held its annual dinner
in honor of "Outstanding
Black Men” last week in
Charlotte. Co-chairmen Ger-
son Stroud and Harvey Gantt
