This policy document says the U.S. should support UN Security Council comprehensive and mandatory military and economic sanctions against South Africa, including an oil embargo, and should enforce such sanctions against U.S. corporations and banks, with stiff penalties for violations. Also, the U.S. should actively oppose loans by the IMF (International Monetary Fund), the World Bank, and other international lending institutions to the apartheid regime; give immediate and forceful support to United Nations Security Council Resolution 435 as the sole basis for a negotiated independence for Namibia and the total withdrawal of South Africa from Namibia; and recognize the People's Republic of Angola as the sole legitimate government of the People of Angola. The U.S. should end all overt and covert political, economic, and military support to the South African-backed UNITA leader Jonas Savimbi; provide humanitarian aid for Namibian refugees in Angola; and end the recruitment of mercenaries in the U.S. for use in Angola, Namibia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe or any of the other states of the region. The policy document discusses bantustans, the African National Congress (ANC), Nelson Mandela, and Dennis Brutus. • SOUTH AFRICA • NAMIBIA • FRONT-LINE STATES
