Contents: Angola – The Struggle Against U.S. Imperialism • Angola – A Test For Africa by Ahmed Sekou Toure • President Neto On The OAU, Soviet Union And Portugal – January, 1976 • 43 Countries Recognize The PRA • The U.S. And Its Stooges • The MPLA – A History Of Struggle • ANGOLA CHRONOLOGY • Important Facts • Gary – City Of Liberation • Unnamed Fighters For The UN Charter • Today South Africa In Angola – Tomorrow Angola In South Africa • The Maoist Splitting Activity In Angola • Constitutional Law Of The People's Republic Of Angola • The Monopolies And Angola • Angola – A Test For Africa • The newsletter says there is no civil war in Angola; UNITA and the FNLA are creations of the CIA and the former Portuguese secret police (PIDE) in Angola. These reactionary groups, along with Zaire and South Africa, are puppets of U.S. imperialism and NATO. In 1965, the Guam Doctrine policy in Africa was manifested in the U.S.-backed Mobutu-Tshombe clique that helped to defeat the patriotic forces of Patrice Lumumba in the Congo. The Soviet Union, Cuba, and other socialist countries have come to the aid of the new Angolan government. Ever since the Nixon Administration, the U.S. has stepped up its covert support of the South African regime and the former fascist Portuguese government’s colonial policy. SWAPO and MPLA forces have worked in alliance since the early 1970’s against South African troops in southern Angola around the Cunene Dam area. Recently, the struggle against U.S. imperialism has not been very broad-based, except for strikes of the United Mine Workers against importation of South African coal in the southern states in 1974 and the petition drive and work of the National Anti-Imperialist Movement in Solidarity with African Liberation (NAIMSAL) to expel South Africa from the United Nations. The newsletter says presenting Peking's stand on Angola, Chiao Kuan-hua argues that China had always held a neutral position regarding the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA), and National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA).
