Washington shifts to backing black majority rule in Africa
Rowland Evans and Robert Notak report a dramatic policy shift under Carter toward supporting black-ruled Africa by peaceful means or through armed struggles if needed.

The piece critiques Young and notes policy departs from decades of nonalignment, with implications for Angola, Mozambique, and Southern Africa.
