The mailing says British military and political action have been aimed at putting ZANU (Zimbabwe African National Union) and ZAPU (Zimbabwe African People's Union) at a disadvantage in the upcoming election. The mailing includes an extensive quote from Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere. The mailing says this speech and two others like it were not in any of the major newspapers in the U.S. and neither was Kenyan President Moi's warning that he would pull out Kenyan troop from the monitoring team in Rhodesia if the South African troops were not expelled. The mailing says the Washington Office on Africa understands that the United Nations will ask the Security Council tomorrow to vote on a resolution condemning these violations of the London agreement. The mailing says the Washington Office on Africa hopes that people will follow the lead of President Nyerere and the African nations in exposing and calling the situation what it is, and in demanding the immediate correction of British violation of the agreement. The mailing urges people to write to President Carter immediately urging him to press the British on this issue. The mailing includes a copy of a newspaper article "Movement of Rhodesian border forces is not being held in check by cease-fire". [Note: The mailing says a copy of a letter to President Carter is enclosed; that letter is available as a separate document on this website.]
