Mailing seeking to raise money for the work of National Namibia Concerns. The mailing says April 1 has come and gone, and the independence plan for Namibia has been delayed yet again by South Africa; under pressure, the U.N. allowed South African troops to be deployed on April 1; they attacked SWAPO troops in the north, thereby breaking the ceasefire. The mailing says according to numerous eyewitness civilian and church reports, on April 1 SWAPO troops were attempting to find the U.N. peacekeeping force (UNTAG) in order to deliver their weapons and be confined to base during the coming months; instead, SWAPO was met by South Africa; how ironic that the worst bloodshed in twenty years should be happening under U.N. supervision. The mailing says our office is being asked (with no remuneration) to brief the press, church and congressional offices, radio, TV, colleges, and continue a network of 10,000 concerned individuals and groups.
