add to cart   close window

The article reports on some of the political policies of U.S. President Ronald Reagan towards South Africa. House of Representatives repealed the Clark amendment prohibiting aid to Angola's political party Unita, which are attempting, with South Africa's help, to overthrow the government of Angola. Now Congress is considering a number of bills to grant "humanitarian" and military assistance to Unita. When the Reagan Administration came to Washington in 1981 it had a broad agenda for southern Africa. It sought to end the conflict in Namibia and effect a decolonization of that territory. Those aims were pursued by giving direct and indirect support to South Africa.
