Cubans Still In Angola
Intelligence analysts say about 13,500 Cubans remain in Angola to keep pro Marxist troops in line as new leaders organize a regime. No major movement of Cuban troops to aid Rhodesian rebels has occurred. Cuba allegedly controls Angolan ports and an air base near Luanda. Kissinger warned Cuba against African military ventures and suggested Cuban roles mirror Soviet aims. Mozambique hosts fewer than 100 Cubans, while Rhodesian insurgents gain limited activity. Tanzania Zambia and Soviet and Chinese support for Rhodesian nationalists are noted.
