The report discusses developments in Africa during the period of transition in South Africa, independence in Namibia, and a cease-fire in place in Angola. The report sees promising long-term prospects for a stable democratic post-apartheid order in South Africa and the region but notes that many perils lie ahead in this transition period. Dealing with the legacy of inequality and violence will take decades, if not generations. Throughout the continent, a new generation of Africans is demanding democracy and grassroots development, and taking African initiatives to resolve long-festering conflicts. The people of southern Africa and the rest of the continent need and deserve solidarity from the rest of the world. Maintaining public attention to Africa is challenging; only the vivid injustice of the apartheid system and, occasionally, famine, have aroused high-profile media attention. The report discusses the Southern Africa Working Group of non-governmental organizations, the African National Congress (ANC),TransAfrica, African American Institute, American Committee on Africa, Washington Office on Africa, Africare, Africa Watch, Africa Faith and Justice Network, the African Studies Association, and the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS). • New African Realities • Washington Office on Africa / WOA Educational Fund • New Challenges • Strengths to Build On • A Plan for Transition
