Cubans in Africa mar its detente with U S
A UPI report cites a senior official aboard Kissinger returning from Europe and Russia saying Cuba’s Angola intervention torpedoes any U S detente with Fidel Castro. It notes 11,000 Cuban troops to Angola, advisers to Algeria and Guinea-Bissau, tank crews to Syria, and rising Cuban-Soviet support after December CIA funds vote. The official warns Kissinger’s rapprochement plan is undermined and foresees a difficult 1976 amid congressional probes and erosion of U S foreign policy authority.
