Ugandan President
Idi-Amin Dada praised U.
S. policy toward Angola
and said he hoped the U.
S. would reopen its
embassy in Kampala,
closed since Nov., 1973.
Amin, chairman of the
Organization of African
Unity (OAU), told
correspondent Jonathan
Broder of CUI magazine
that if the Soviet Union or
any other foreign power
attempted to establish a
military basein Angola,,
"we will be forced to form
our forces as OAU to face
that base and remove it
completely."
"I am in full agreement
with Dr. (Henry) Kissinger
and President Ford and
their stand in Angola.
There is where America
became very efficient in
African politics today, and
I like you very much
because of this, because
you condemn any power
to interfere, into the
Aneolan problem, and this,
is very good," Amin said.
Amin said he had
spoken with U. S.
Assistant Secretary of
State Edward W. Mulcahy
and had received
assurances that the U. S.
'should keep off of
Angola. "But I also asked
him for the assistance of
the U. S. to the Angolan
people in the fields of
food and medicine which
he accepted. I am very
happy. The U. S.
government already have
given over $200,000
through the Red Cross to
all three liberation
movements in Angola."
He said further the U.
S. is ''going to release
some more money to assist
Angola" for food and
medical supplies and
added "this is what we
want superpower to do in
Africa. But we don't want
U. S. or Soviet Union to
give armament to any
African country which can
result of (in) killing
innocent peoples. I am
very happy with the State
Department."
Terming himself "very
happy" with U. S. policy
toward Africa, Amin said
the only thing he wanted
changed with the
supplying of military
equipment. He did say,
however, that the U. S.
failure to supply such
equipment to certain
countries had forced them
"to become communist.
They don't want to
become communist, but
they cannot get arms to
defend themselves. What
can they do? '
The OAUspokesman
praised the U. S. for
withdrawing its forces
from Vietnam and said, "1
think you never hear any
criticism against American
policy now in Southeast
Asia."
Amin said that he
kicked out Soviet
Ambassador Andrei
Zakharov "because he
interfered too much into
the internal affairs of my
country. He said he wished
to be "friendly" with the
Soviet government but "i
am not in the pocket of
the Soviet Union."
Explaining why he told
Zakharov to leave, Amin
said it was because
Zakharov, with two other
senior Soviet experts, went
to a television station and
tried to "remove"
Mandungu Bulanyati, the
foreign minister of Zaire,
who was being interviewed
and making "very strong
remarks against the Soviet
Union which based on the
truth."
Amin said the Russian
diplomats attempted to
stop playing of a TV film.
"That made me very
angry, very annoyed, and
that made mu put the
whole army on alert," he.
said.
"Actually, .that alone
was what made me to send
away that ambassador of
Soviet Union from
Uganda. It was a very bad
mistake and this is the first
time for me to make this
announcement. When we
sa w there were three
Soviet people, that make
me very suspicious, so I
alert our security forces to
guard all the government
and military installations.'
Amin said that not even
ministers of - military
officials of Uganda can
enter the broadcast facility
without permission "but
this Ambassador
Zakharov, he went there.
Because Of this behavior, I
send him out of Uganda.
Up until how, even the
Soviet Union don't know
this is the reason why I
expell him, you see.
Amin laughed when he
said, I think that very
many people thought that
the Soviet ambassador was
my vice president, but he
was not."
