Soviet backed forces widen grip on Angola
In a major offensive, the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola reportedly captured Toto airbase 93 miles from the Zaire border and Ambriz, bolstering control in northern Angola. Radio Luanda said the movement now held large northern areas, seized weapons stores and aircraft at Toto, and Tass noted Ambrizete as a key arms base. Four African presidents met in Dar Es Salaam after the Addis Ababa summit collapse to discuss peace and unity among warring factions.
