From Page A4
for liberation, both MPLA and
UNITA*s appeals for assistance
from the United States and
Europe fell on deaf ears, forcing
them to look to the East. Not surprisingly,
both the Soviet Union
and China responded favorably
by backing the MPLA and
UNITA, respectively.
For reasons too complex to
elaborate on in this column, the
MP LA became the more effective
of the Portuguese. However,
rather than seek a coalition
government with his Angolan
brothers, the opportunistic
Savimbi chastised the MPLA as
an "elitist, Marxist group," proclaimed
himself as representative
of the masses of Angolan people
and vowed to wage war against
the MPLA ad infinitum,
China soon thereafter
withdrew its support for Savimbi,
who then turned to racist South
Africa, which was eager for a
black surrogate to assist in its
ongoing quest for destabilization
in Angola.
For over a decade now,
UNITA has been a nuisance to
the MPLA (recognized by the
United Nations as the legitimate
government of the Angolan people).
During that same period,
the United States was legally prohibited
from providing covert aid
to UNITA by the Clark Amend
ment.
Unfortunately, that critical
legislation was repealed last year
by Congress, opening the door
for the reactionary Reagan administration
and irs ultrareactionary
congressional cronies
to provide military and economic
aid to Savimbi - aid that will unnecessarily
prolong a war that is
draining much-needed material
and human resources from the
Angolan economy.
Wake up, America. Any friend
of my enemy is my enemy also.
Thus, if Jonas Savimbi is a friend
of Ronald Reagan, Jerry Falwell
and South Africa, then he certainly
cannot be a friend of the
majority of African-Americans,
nor can he truly be a friend of his
own Angolan people. We in this
country have had enough experiences
with "Uncle Tom opportunists"
to know that Savimbi
is no exception. Do not be deceived
by his pigment, his charismatic
smile or his rhetoric. This man is
:
aangerous.

overt or covert U.S. attempts to
